So. I'm working on the new server installer for s390x, and it already works quite good on qemu/kvm.
(whilst most of the UX improvements are not visible in the daily images, it does boot and completes the install in qemu/kvm. We have colors support, and partitioning changes/improvements staged in git master.) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/current/disco-live- server-s390x.iso Performing ISO/USB load, and giving access to the LPAR (it needs it), also results in the ability to boot the new installer. But it is painfully slow, and often hits OOM. I was hoping that hmcdrvfs is performant enough for read-only access as the underlay of the overlayfs, for live ubuntu server experience, and the source of installation. At the moment, it is painfully slow. And I'm not sure if we can tune vfs or hmcdrv to make this installation type viable. I almost feel like starting to make boot-in-place images, and requesting HMC to have ability to accept an upload of a qcow2 image, blast it onto a zfcp LUN disk, and IPL that as a read-only disk, for extremely fast booting of the new installer, with extremely fast install speeds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1806115 Title: cannot set hmcdrv cachesize to 1GB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1806115/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
