SmartOS: Add support for Joyent LX-Brand Zones LX-brand zones on Joyent's SmartOS use a different metadata source (socket file) than the KVM-based SmartOS virtualization (serial port). This patch adds support for recognizing the different flavors of virtualization on SmartOS and setting up a metadata source file object. After the file object is created, the rest of the code for the datasource can remain common.
This patch reads the metadata byte-by-byte rather than using readline because we can not perform a readline on the file-like object for the socket as this block indefintely waiting for an EOF that is will not be sent by the host platform. This patch also moves to V2 metadata as it provides checksum validation and makes reading the metadata much more reliable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1540965 Title: Support Joyent lx-brand environment in smartos datasource To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1540965/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
