The proposal to merge lp:~rvb/maas/more-kernel-options-ephemeral into lp:maas has been updated.
Description changed to: This branch adds the name of the ephemeral to the iscsi_target_name parameters in the kernel command line. The maas-import-ephemerals script imports ephemeral images and also creates an 'info' file which contains the information we need to use in the iscsi_target_name parameter. The ephemeral info are in directory named after the release data (e.g. /var/lib/maas/ephemeral/precise/ephemeral/i386/20120424/info). = Pre-imp = This was mostly discussed with Scott. We thought of two ways to do this: a) modify the maas-import-ephemerals so that it would maintain a symbolic link to the last ephemeral import. b) list the directories for a specific release/architecture, sort them, and take the first one. I choose solution b) as it doesn't require to change the script, it still lets an admin trick the system (by manually creating a new directory) if one wants to use an old ephemeral image. = Notes = I've added the utility parse_config() to parse the ephemeral info file (and I've used it in omshell). I think we should improve the error handling in get_first_directory() and get_ephemeral_name() to raise a proper error when the import hasn't been run. But this will happen in a follow-up branch.
