The test has done nothing, yet. The root of the testbed has 25 GB total (starting off with 990 MB used), so your test has 24 GB to use (including installing test dependencies). The biggest test dependency is (virtual) linux-headers-generic + deps, as (virtual) linux-image-generic should already be isntalled ... So there should be plenty of space available. The skip is probably coming from the non-verbose check for 8 CPUs where I applied the patch from Ubuntu... Will make that verbose and also report skip reasons better. Andreas

Can you help me find the answer? I guess you don't mean "the current kernel of the suite under test" but rather a flavor? We use autopkgtest-build-qemu, which uses vmdb2, to build the image. The kernel used is also logged in the autopkgtest log, so you can also look it up :). That was too trivial. I expected you had done something fancy (and completely different from the normal test runs) to enable isolation-machine ;-) (And while reading the log I didn't spot anything interesting to answer my questions. But I didn't look outside the sections of that specific test.) Would Depends: linux-headers-generic work? I don't know. It does. If its spelled correctly ;-) The corresponding changes for the autopkgtest are now in sid. Including a change from Ubuntu to skip the test on low powered systems. There has been migration test run on amd64 already and the new test got skipped: 167s autopkgtest [09:50:25]: test test-dm-writeboost.sh: [--- 168s II: Checking for 14G available disk space...SKIP 168s autopkgtest [09:50:26]: test test-dm-writeboost.sh: ---] The next check would have been for 8+ cpu cores. So, yes, isolation-machine works^Wdoesn't fail for dm-writeboost but it is not helpful for this package since it cannot provide the required resources. Andreas

Or better in the test script to test -d /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build || \ apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) But I have a strong preference for (test) Depends over running $(apt-get install) inside the test for two reasons: 1) you get Autopkgtest-Triggers for the kernel (headers) for free, meaning that we'll know if the kernel breaks this package 2) the autopkgtest setup for migration is a bit weird and getting it right shouldn't be the responsibility of the test [1].

In case it is trivial for you to rerun the failing test with Thanks for running the test. II: Loading dm-writeboost module...modprobe: FATAL: Module dm-writeboost not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.15-amd64 FAILED! OK, one step further. No module was built because no headers are installed ;-) What kernel is running inside the test environment and what is the best way to install its headers? Would Depends: linux-headers-generic work?
