| jbernard | hello everyone | 14:11 |
| jbernard | os-brick release is tomorrow | 14:11 |
| jbernard | i have a few remaining tasks (small), we reviewed and merge quite a few yesterday | 14:11 |
| jbernard | looking at the dashboard, i think things are in good shape currently | 14:12 |
| jbernard | if there are any last-minute os-brick items to raise, now is the time | 14:12 |
| Vivekk_ | o/ | 14:13 |
| rosmaita | the silence is deafening, which is good in this cawe | 14:15 |
| rosmaita | *case | 14:15 |
| jbernard | client stuff releases next week | 14:15 |
| jbernard | we'll likley have another review sprint for that patch set | 14:17 |
| jbernard | thanks again to everyone that attended and participated in the midcycle meeting on monday | 14:18 |
| jbernard | i think it was productive | 14:18 |
| jbernard | #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-flamingo-midcycles | 14:18 |
| jbernard | those reviews, along with the request etherpad remain on my list | 14:19 |
| jbernard | reviews will be my highest priority for this and next week | 14:20 |
| jbernard | #link https://releases.openstack.org/flamingo/schedule.html | 14:20 |
| jbernard | m-3 is the end of next week, so there is much to do | 14:20 |
| jbernard | please help if you can | 14:21 |
| jbernard | that's all for annoucments | 14:21 |
| jbernard | #topic open discussion | 14:21 |
| agalica | Question on new storage devices: If a new storage device comes out that does not require any changes to the driver code can we get it added to the support list when it comes out, or do we need to submit an empty (no changes) patch? | 14:22 |
| jbernard | if it doesn't require code changes, we should be able to update the support list | 14:22 |
| agalica | Ok, thank you | 14:23 |
| jbernard | the only thing i can think of is if the driver listed/documented supported backends, that might need to be updated in the code if it's present | 14:23 |
| rosmaita | agalica: do you have 3rd party ci running? | 14:24 |
| agalica | I don’t believe so | 14:24 |
| rosmaita | that is sort of a requirement for your own protection in case the code (that is not yours) changes | 14:25 |
| agalica | We do have CI running, but maybe I misunderstand the third party part. In this case, the storage would definitely not require changes unless the driver itself did across the board. | 14:27 |
| flelain | o/ | 14:27 |
| rosmaita | the "third party" part is that it is your CI running with your backend hardware | 14:28 |
| agalica | Gotcha, yes we do | 14:29 |
| flelain | Question related to encryption: do you guys know whether there were recent needs among the community to implement encrypted volumes retyping for shared storage backends? (e.g. rbd on Ceph) | 14:29 |
| flelain | I only came across that: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/726467 - which states the issue and tries to explicit it in the logs. | 14:31 |
| anthonygamboa | I wanted to double check the code freeze dates for flamingo. We can still submit changes that can make it into the release until R-1, so september 26? | 14:34 |
| jbernard | flelain: im not sure about needs, but it's something we'd definately like to have finished | 14:34 |
| jbernard | flelain: im not clear on the current state, but i think there are some items remaining to be done | 14:35 |
| rosmaita | anthonygamboa: feature freeze is next week; for bugs, the freeze is RC1 which is R-3 | 14:35 |
| flelain | jbernard: I'm implementing something, rather close to what was suggested in this change. I'll submit it upstream when testes out on my end then. | 14:36 |
| rosmaita | after that, only release-critical patches are accepted | 14:36 |
| daksh | Rejoined as daksh due to some issue | 14:36 |
| anthonygamboa | rosmaita: got it, thanks | 14:37 |
| rosmaita | flelain: this has been the big problem with retyping to an encrypted volume: https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/configuration/block-storage/volume-encryption.html#known-issues | 14:38 |
| Vivekk_ | Hello Jon/Brian | 14:41 |
| flelain | rosmaita: true, I had read this too. Now, speaking of remote shared storage, we may have bigger challenges to tackle, like computing somewhere (cinder node most probably) encryption/decryption before writing it to remote backend. Is this interpretation right / relevant? | 14:41 |
| jbernard | flelain: great, eric (eharney) may be a source of information too, he was working on that effort a while back if i recall | 14:43 |
| Luzi | Hi I just wanted to ask, if there is another core reviewer, who can look into the image encryption: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/926298 ? | 14:44 |
| jbernard | cores: ^^ | 14:44 |
| flelain | jbernard: thx for the advice. Will chat with Eric about it. | 14:44 |
| rosmaita | Luzi: i will put it on my list for today | 14:45 |
| Luzi | thank you rosmaita | 14:45 |
| flelain | and btw, when and where is held cinder bugs review? Is it here during this meeting? | 14:45 |
| jbernard | i guess it's here (as it isn't anywhere else ;)) | 14:46 |
| Vivekk_ | Apologies for the persistent follow-ups regarding the register plugin patch. As this patch is critical for the Flamigo release, I wanted to ensure everything is on track. Please let me know the dates for ML discussion. | 14:46 |
| Vivekk_ | Additionally, we've confirmed that including the OS version in the metadata is necessary, as it will assist the support team with troubleshooting and diagnostics. | 14:46 |
| jbernard | flelain: or ad hoc in the cinder channel | 14:46 |
| flelain | jbernard: ok thx! I created this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/2117265 in July. I wanted to know whether it could be tackled in some kind of triage process. | 14:48 |
| jbernard | Vivekk_: os version, you mean kernel version and patch level? | 14:49 |
| Vivekk_ | jbernard: nope, just os_name from cat /etc/*release command and picking the PRETTY_NAME field. | 14:51 |
| anthonygamboa | There's a merge that's been giving us trouble. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/869991 I was working with jbernard last week on it; we resolved the network issues we were facing but still getting an error when trying to push a new patch set: CONFLICT (add/add): Merge conflict in releasenotes/notes/hitachi-fix-gad-vol-compatibility-e9c62c18f7a12bc7.yaml | 14:54 |
| jbernard | flelain: i suspect that's a valid bug | 14:55 |
| anthonygamboa | jbernard: thanks for the help last week. Are you available to advise on this? | 14:55 |
| jbernard | anthonygamboa: i can work with you just after the meeting | 14:55 |
| anthonygamboa | jbernard: awesome, thank you! | 14:56 |
| jbernard | almost at the top of the hour, last call | 14:58 |
