kata-irc-bot<eric.ernst> Heads up -- I'm going to give it another couple of days for rc0 - plan on cutting it thursday. There are a couple of "nice to have" PRs that I'd like to see make it in.00:39
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> @bergwolf, @samuel.ortiz, quick question, what's the supposed way to *not* use sharedFS (as in, use virtio-block with devmapper) according to our configurations? :thread:10:26
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> Is it via `disable_block_device_use`?10:27
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> While still here, I don't understand why we have that option for firecracker.  Isn't that the *only* way to use firecracker? :slightly_smiling_face:10:44
kata-irc-bot<bergwolf> for rootfs, if you use devicemapper and `disable_block_device_use` is false, you get virtio-blk, IIRC11:12
kata-irc-bot<bergwolf> For volumes, no supported way YET(TM)11:13
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> Yeah, right now I am only thinking about the rootfs case.11:17
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> So, yeah, I will go ahead and do some changes / cleanup on this part, and I'll poke you for a review (most likely Tomorrow), @bergwolf.11:18
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> That11:18
kata-irc-bot<bergwolf> Sure thing! I'd be glad to review it.11:18
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> @bergwolf, would it make sense to have a `virtioFS = none`  option for the cases where shared fs is not supported at all?12:12
kata-irc-bot<archana.m.shinde> @fidencio When you are using devicemapper, you get virtio-block by default12:34
kata-irc-bot<archana.m.shinde> kata detects block device and automatically chooses virtio-blk instead of virtio-fs12:34
kata-irc-bot<archana.m.shinde> If you want to disable this beahaviour, you have the `disable_block_device_use` flag for that purpose12:35
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> @archana.m.shinde, hmm, interesting.12:50
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> And the virtiofsd being started then would make sense as Volumes are mounted using virtiofs, is it?12:51
kata-irc-bot<archana.m.shinde> yes13:08
kata-irc-bot<fidencio> Ack, that makes things cleaner, thanks @archana.m.shinde!13:27
