gouthamr^ please feel free to add/remove yourself from the ping list here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Manila/Meetings15:02
gouthamrthanks for coming everyone, let's get started15:02
gouthamr#topic Announcements15:02
gouthamrwe're at Feature Freeze for the "2026.1" Gazpacho release cycle15:03
gouthamr#link https://releases.openstack.org/gazpacho/schedule.html (Gazpacho Schedule)15:03
gouthamrthis is also a freeze on python-manilaclient ; unless we find any release critical bugs15:04
gouthamrthe freeze's today, and we do have one or two patches that we'd like to get in.. let's chat about that in a little bit15:04
gouthamrit's been an eventful couple of weeks on getting things in shape for the release15:05
gouthamrwe saw quite a lot of CI instability.. however, thanks to some folks like stephenfin, tkajinam.. we've been recovering from these.. albeit, this has affected how quickly we could get test results etc15:06
gouthamrbeyond today, manila and manila-ui will continue to accept bugfix patches for the release until we ship RC1 in two weeks15:07
gireesho/15:07
gouthamrthe final client releases are also due in the same timeframe, but, as we noted.. the release we'll make at the end of the day is expected to be the "final" major version that we'll ship for this release.. 15:09
gouthamrafter we ship this, there'll be a stable/2026.1 branch which will accept bug fix backports from the "master" branch15:09
gouthamrdo let me know if there are any questions around this process.. 15:10
gouthamronce we're past the feature freeze in manila and manila-ui, we do hope to continue to land bug fixes for the next couple of weeks15:11
gouthamrso to corral some effort around that, we're hosting a bugsquash next week15:12
gouthamraside from getting the in-progress bug fixes in, we'll also try to find and address release critical bugs prior to RC1 15:13
carlossI think we can try to make the bugsquash format similar to previous ones: one kick off call and use the weekly meeting as a checkpoint if everyone is okay with it15:14
kpdevhi15:14
gouthamr+115:14
gouthamryes, that sounds good.. are there any suggestions for times/days for that kick off call? 15:15
gouthamrwould Monday at 1500 UTC work?15:16
carlossyep, was about to suggest that15:16
SaiYes. 15:16
carlossI think the earlier in the week, the better15:16
Anoop_ShuklaO/15:16

gouthamr#topic Review Focus15:25
gouthamr#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/manila-gazpacho-review-focus (Gazpacho review focus)15:25
gouthamrsome merge conflicts that need attention from the authors15:26
gouthamr#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/973962 15:26
gouthamr^ kpdev'll probably refresh this one soon, netapp experts: please do add your thoughts/votes here.. 15:26
gouthamrthe tempest test change could use some eyes too:z15:27
gouthamr#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila-tempest-plugin/+/973489 15:27
kpdevsure will rebase15:27
gouthamrty, Replica metadata and the related patches:15:29
gouthamr#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/973777 (Core change, commit message needs to be updated, and more reviews are needed) 15:29
gouthamr#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/python-manilaclient/+/973923 (python-manilaclient, needs to merge imminently to make it to the Gazpacho release) 15:29
gouthamrSai: fix up the commit message in both of these with the correct API version 15:29
SaiSure Goutham, will update and address other parts of it. Thanks.15:31
gouthamr#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/973578 (NetApp synchronous replication) 15:32
gouthamrugh, we had another simple-enough API change that could be rebased and targeted:15:33
gouthamr#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/964372 (Add forced deletion for backups in the manila share-backup API)15:33
gouthamr#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/python-manilaclient/+/964373 (Add forced deletion for backups in the manila OSC plugin)15:33
gouthamri can do this when we wrap up the meeting, kpdev, gireesh would you be able to review and merge it? or do you think we need more time?15:34
kpdevforced deletion or replica metadata ?15:35
gouthamrboth15:36
gouthamrbackup force deletion is a trivisl-ish change, just got out of our radar 15:37
kpdevok, you mean meeting of Monday at 1500 UTC 15:37
gouthamrif they're in good shape, we'd merge by utc eod today.. but if you think you need more time, we;d ship the client today and get these patches into the hibiscus release15:39
kpdevWe need replica metadata and its dependent change of snapmirror sync in current release15:40
kpdevAnd also QoS. So we can merge manilaclient today at least15:40
kpdev@Sai: will it be possible to address comments for python-manilaclient PR if any today itself ?15:41
SaiYes Kiran, on it already...15:42
gouthamri don't see any other feature changes that need attention.. 15:42
kpdev@Goutham: What would be deadline for Manila changes to consider in G release ?15:43
gouthamrdepends, today's feature freeze15:43
gouthamrso any feature change needs to merge by EOD today.. or have a feature freeze exception15:44
kpdevCan we get exception ? since we need replica metadata and snapmirror sync and QoS driver change as must for this release15:44
Anoop_ShuklaCan we try to get the snap mirror metadata and SM sync changes to be merged today or get an exception15:45
SaiYes, we need all of them in for this release!15:45
gouthamri think the replica metadata API changes are close, but that's just my view.. need more reviews15:45
*** dviroel is now known as dviroel_afk15:45
gouthamri do think if the driver changes were in place before the Feature Proposal Freeze, we can try our best to review them by EOD or tomorrow.. saying that means we're violating the feature freeze deadline.. but, since these are isolated to the driver code.. it should be less impactful on the rest of the project. 15:47
gouthamri'm not comfortable with feature freeze exceptions for API changes.. but that's carloss's call.. 15:47
gouthamr(he's probably afk by now, or will be soon.. so not expecting a response here) 15:48
gouthamrany feature freeze exceptions should be discussed on the openstack-discuss ML too for wider awareness.. not everyone participates in these meetings.. 15:49
kpdevAPI change of replica metadata can possibly merged today. The driver changes not sure.15:50
gouthamrso let's try to get the API changes in place.. 15:50
gouthamrdoes any other code change need to be discussed here?15:51
gouthamrif not, let's move to bug triage15:52
gouthamr#topic Bug Triage (vhari)15:52
gouthamro/ vhari, floor is yours15:52
vharihello, lets dive in :) #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/manila/+bug/2141596 15:52
Kumar_Tdriver changes are already reviewed got +2's and CI passed15:52
vharigouthamr, ty for saving the logs to preserve the error15:52
gouthamri'm curious if this is a sporadic failure15:54
gouthamri recall some old context serialization bugs of similar flavor15:56
gouthamriirc with "is_admin" and similar fields.. 15:57
gouthamrwe can try and add this to the bugsquash next week and try to reproduce this.. we haven't hit this in the CI.. maybe we should verify the version of oslo.context being used in this os-ansible job15:57
vharigouthamr, ack15:58
gouthamrty.. any other bugs to triage today, vhari?15:59
gouthamrfungi: noticed you added a topic .. apologies we'll be missing Open Discussion this week, and we were planning to use meetpad for a bugsquash next week; do you mind chatting with us on #openstack-manila, or perhaps here in a couple of weeks? 16:00
vhariand that's a warp for bugs due to time 16:00
gouthamrty vhari 16:00
vharigouthamr, we will pickup the rest of bugs to triage post bugsquash 16:00
gouthamr++16:00
vharisure thing16:00
gouthamrwe can move any further discussion to #openstack-manila16:00
gouthamrthank you all for participating!16:00
gouthamrsee you at next week's bugsquash, and on #openstack-manila in the meantime16:01
