TBH I'm less concerned about this from the POV of a FFE rather than in general. You won't ever need this in almost all cloud environments, and it adds unnecessarily complexity, boot delays, and potential boot blockers. I can't think of a reason why you would set up LVM and mdadm in the cloud guest, rather than on the host?
This is different for using cloud images on real hardware, of course. But for that we are also missing a lot of kernel drivers for that (as the cloud images only have linux-image-virtual, not -generic). Perhaps it would be time to split this to build two images? One for real clouds, which could then also drop other bits which are rarely needed in the cloud and would better be installed on demand in user_data: accountsservice, ntfs-3g, sosreport, aptitude, vim, etc. And one which are much more like the server images that we have today, with a nice and complete shell CLI environment, a full kernel, mdadm and friends? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1491102 Title: [FFE] add mdadm and lvm2 to cloud image To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/1491102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
