Re: [Linaro-validation] LAVA QA Tracker dev status

Hi Jeff, a bit of background on lava-qatracker. A while back, we were using another qatracker and having some issues. It allowed us to set up milestones for testing, but just linked to a wiki page with steps to test, which a tester would have to follow, then come back to the page and just enter a

[Linaro-validation] LAVA master image scripts

Hi Ti took the liberty of building a script that automates construction of LAVA master images. The work is not finished but the bulk of the work has been done (and greatly facilitated by Dave Pigott's partitioning script). The design is somewhat different to what we had before but the output

Re: [Linaro-validation] Forced reboots are harmful

Also please see the other thread where I proposed we should really do all this from an initramfs. If we can get everything into an initramfs, hard power-off in the middle of doing something with the master image becomes a non-issue. I haven't seen it cause problems for us so far, but of course t

[Linaro-validation] Forced reboots are harmful

Hi Experimenting with the dispatcher made me realize that forced reboots (on timeouts, for example) are an excellent way to damage the master image. At the very best we are forced to re-check the master image. At the very worst we may damage the superblock and generally hose the master. Do y
