@Ben,
As soon as time is available, I will test the -proposed package (if
possible, on the old Azure VMs that have been used for testing).
I will add the following test: testing the 0.7.6 version on Ubuntu
Trusty (14.04.1 LTS)
Please note that I just received the message, implying that I have not
been able to verify what is changed in the 0.7.5 version (the standard
version on Trusty) and/or whether swap file cloud-config options have
been backported.
Also note that cloud-init documentation with respect to
- cloud-config examples, and/or
- Azure custom AND standard disk_setup and fs_setup settings
can be adjusted for the reasons that disk_setup and fs_setup settings
for attached disks, in the form of
#cloud-config
disk_setup:
[ .. ephemeral config lines .. ]
/dev/sdc:
table_type: mbr
layout: True
overwrite: True
fs_setup:
[ .. ephemeral config lines .. ]
- device: /dev/sdc1
filesystem: ext4
suffice to setup and format attached disk at VM creation time (instead
of manually partitioning and formatting afterwards).
Note that the "overwrite: True" at /dev/sdc disk setup does not have any
impact, in the sense that data on the disk is not lost (!).
@Ben: for the sake of clear cloud-init standard settings, it would
propably be desirable to remove the alias "ephemeral" in Azure standard
settings, since this removal cannot do harm and makes more easy to
reference the /dev/sda (ephemeral) disk. Is this a change to be
considered?
@Ben: if I am not mistaken, it should be easy for cloud-init to
automatically detect attached disks (Azure devices) and assign a
"standard" disk_setup and fs_setup settings (as provided above). The
standard settings can than be easily overruled by custom cloud-config
settings. However, I am not completely sure whether this is desirable
behavior for cloud-init, what do you think?
@Stephen: the walinuxagent (waagent script) should be able to create a
custom cloud-config file for the automatic detection, setup and
formatting of the attached disks (Azure devices), in order to have
formatted disks (after creation of the VM) that are persistent across
(normal) restarts AND shutdown/start sequences (the latter is normally a
problem, not in this case). Can we expect some adjustment of the
walinuxagen (waagent script)?
Kind regards....
