[Bug 502495] [NEW] Too much image copying when using vmbuilder for EC2
Public bug reported: I'm using the latest lp:vmbuilder source to build EBS boot AMIs for EC2. I noticed that there is an awful lot of image file copying being done which seems unnecessary when using vmbuilder for this purpose. 1. vmbuilder installs the image files into a temporary root subdirectory 2. The root subdirectory is copied with rsync into the target directory, which is a loopback filesystem on a huge root.img temporary file. 3. The big root.img file is copied with cp from the temporary directory to a destination directory. 4. I then have to mount this image file and copy the files a fourth time onto the EBS volume in order to create an EBS boot AMI. Ideally, three of these steps could be eliminated so that the image files are installed directly onto the EBS volume, with the path provided through an option. Though this does not affect the functionality in a major way, the current four copies take up a good chunk of time, IO, and disk space when building AMIs on EC2.

[Bug 493510] [NEW] vmbuilder: Creates mostly empty EC2 images on 64-bit
Public bug reported:
I'm using vmbuilder on 32-bit and 64-bit EC2 instances with identical
arguments except for --arch, --kernel, and --ramdisk. The 32-bit EC2
images are created fine, but the 64-bit images are practically empty
except for a few /var directories.
I have tracked this down to the extra mount which is performed by
vmbuilder when run on the 64-bit instance to generate a 64-bit image:

2009-12-07 07:58:23,739 INFO: Installing guest operating system. This might
take some time...
The first mount of / is for the root.img file which is eventually used
to create the actual EC2 image. Unfortunately, the second mount of
root_.img on top of / causes everything to be written to root_.img
which is never used to create the bundle.
Here is the ec2-bundle-image command which shows that it is looking for
the system files in root.img, and not root_.img (which is where they
were placed because of the second mount above):
2009-12-07 08:03:29,471 DEBUG : ['ec2-bundle-image', '--image', '/mnt

'-d', '/mnt/vmbuilderDscdmG', '--kernel', 'aki-fd15f694', '--ramdisk',
'ari-c515f6ac']
This problem is currently making it impossible for me to generate 64-bit
EC2 images.
Here is the vmbuilder command I am running. It works on 32-bit with
only the obvious slight modifications:

[Bug 493020] [NEW] vmbuilder: Deletes most of /dev on interrupt
Public bug reported:
I'm running vmbuilder on the latest EC2 Karmic AMI. When I Ctrl-C
interrupt the run, it deletes almost all of the devices in /dev making
the system somewhat unusable.
Here's a log demonstrating this. I have reproduced the problem on a
fresh AMI by interrupting it in about the same place. Before vmbuilder
was run, there were the usual hundreds of entries in /dev

[Bug 486955] [NEW] vmbuilder: --execscript in current directory is not found
Public bug reported: This problem happens with the vmbuilder on trunk. When running vmbuilder I passed in an option like --execscript setup-karmic-server where setup-karmic-server was an executable file in my current directory. vmbuilder output the following messages which give a warm fuzzy: 2009-11-23 04:43:15,002 DEBUG : Checking if --exec PATH exists: setup-karmic-server 2009-11-23 04:43:15,002 DEBUG : Checking permissions of --exec PATH: setup-karmic-server It proceeded to build the entire image, then tried to run my script. At this point, it died with the error: Couldn't find the program 'setup-karmic-server' on your system If it's really checking to make sure that the script exists and is executable it might also check to make sure that the script is in the path, or add the current working directory to the path. The workaround is to specify a full path like --execscript $(pwd)/setup-karmic-server but this was an annoying thing to have to run into and to run again, so it would be nice to save others the hassle.

The ideal solution would include the ability to easily set up either of the following environments and be able to switch between them: 1) euca2ools without ec2-* symlinks. Optionally, Amazon's ec2-*-tools packages could be installed alongside and commands from either set of tools could be run independently on the same system. 2) euca2ools with ec2-* symlinks.

I suggest this ability to support the ec2-* names should be a requirement before the ec2-ami-tools on the Canonical EC2 images are replaced with euca2ools (assuming euca2ools is sufficiently compatible and stable for it to become the default). It's not just Canonical's documentation which would be made simpler by this, but it would also more closely match all of the existing EC2 documentation and tutorials which have been published. Users and existing software infrastructures running images on EC2 already expect the appropriate AMI commands to be available on the images under the ec2-* names.

The benefit of the current approach with RightScale's lightweight init script is that it only activates and installs RightScale software if it is running in the RightScale environment.

[Bug 431255] Re: ec2-init: Move ec2-run-user-data to startup priority S99
Based on IRC discussion, it may not have been clear that I consider this a reasonably important bug to fix for Karmic even though it means splitting ec2-init into two init scripts. There are existing architectures using Ubuntu on EC2 which break when attempted to be run on Canonical's latest Karmic image. Here are a couple use cases to help demonstrate why sshd should be running before user-data is run and why not doing so breaks the code: 1) User does not want to put private keys in the non-private user-data, so user-data script waits until they show up on the file system. External process starts the instance, waits for ssh, then scp's the keys in to the instance at which point the user-data automatically continues running. 2) One of my production setups has the user-data script wait until an EBS volume is mounted, but the external process which attaches the volume first has to do some stuff on the instance through ssh. This deadlocks and both processes are waiting for each other. Yes, it might be possible for people to restructure these applications to not use user-data or to pass information in some other way, but since there seems to be a consensus that user-data should be run after ssh is started, then I suggest it is important to do it the right way from the beginning in the Canonical images. I'd like there to be as little barrier to migration as possible. And I'd like for my existing code to work so I can continue testing them on the Canonical images :) -- ec2-init: Move ec2-run-user-data to startup priority S99 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
[Bug 431255] [NEW] ec2-init: Move ec2-run-user-data to startup priority S99
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ec2-init AMI: ami-a40fefcd canonical-alphas-us/karmic-i386-alpha5.1.manifest.xml All of the ec2-init functionality is currently driven by a single /etc/init.d/ec2-init script which is run at a single rc startup level (S15). Some of the functionality, like regenerating ssh host keys and setting up authorized_keys, are great to be done before sshd is started. On the other hand, running the user-data script, should be close to the last thing in the startup process, perhaps S99 (though I've been running it at S71 in my AMIs). In any case, the user-data script must not be run before sshd is started. When the user-data script takes a long time or gets into an infinite loop, this prevents sshd from running, which prevents the user from being able to ssh in and figure out what went wrong with the startup script. I ran into this already with a user-data script which waits until an EBS volume is attached (a common boot up function), but the volume was never attached and I couldn't ssh in to the instance to figure out what was going wrong. Note that the same existing logic should be used to only run the user- data on the first boot of each instance (including rebundled images). ** Affects: ec2-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: ec2-images ** Changed in: ec2-init (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- ec2-init: Move ec2-run-user-data to startup priority S99 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs

Public bug reported: It is fairly standard practice to include kernel modules in images for Amazon EC2, but the most recent Karmic AMIs do not include them: ami-a40fefcd canonical-alphas-us/karmic-i386-alpha5.1.manifest.xml ami-a20fefcb canonical-alphas-us/karmic-x86_64-alpha5.1.manifest.xml099720109477 Some other options have been discussed like building kernel modules into the kernel or copying them from initrd into /lib/modules at boot time, but the easiest approach to get things working in the short term is probably just to follow the existing de facto standard and include the kernel modules for the AMI's default kernel. If somebody wants to run it with a different kernel, they are already used to having to install those kernel modules themselves. Ideally, the addition of the kernel modules would be done by default in the vmbuilder EC2 plugin so that it works when normal users create images with vmbuilder.

Soren pointed out that Ubuntu doesn't need /sys in /etc/fstab Building off of trunk without the /sys 0 line in the part file now works! ** Changed in: vm-builder (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Eric Hammond (esh) Status: New = Invalid -- vmbuilder EC2: mkfs.ext3: Device size reported to be zero.

[Bug 301499] [NEW] vmbuilder EC2: /etc/fstab missing trailing newline when built with --part
Public bug reported: When I use the --part option in vmbuilder --ec2 it builds an /etc/fstab without a trailing newline on the last record. This is probably just a minor nuisance and shouldn't affect much in the way of functionality, but it also should be easy to fix. I'm currently working off of this branch (with the fixes from ec2exec- fixes) https://code.launchpad.net/~nijaba/vmbuilder/ec2exec I used the following file with --part: cat vmbuilder-ec2-32.part EOM root 4096 a1 /mnt 0 a2 swap 1024 a3 /sys 0 EOM ** Affects: vm-builder (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- vmbuilder EC2: /etc/fstab missing trailing newline when built with --part https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301499 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
