14:04:52 <whoami-rajat> it's not exactly related to RC2 but we are on the final days of 2023.2 Bobcat cycle
14:05:05 <whoami-rajat> so RC2 is the only project specific thing remaining from this email
14:05:10 <whoami-rajat> there is a patch up for RC2 release
14:05:13 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/896625

14:07:26 <whoami-rajat> as of now everyone might be aware about the results
14:07:31 <whoami-rajat> but thought of concluding it once more
14:07:39 <whoami-rajat> here is the list of TC and PTL election results
14:07:44 <whoami-rajat> #link https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-September/035171.html

14:10:08 <whoami-rajat> #link https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-September/035166.html
14:10:35 <jungleboyj> o/
14:10:38 <whoami-rajat> so in next week's open infra live, we are going to discuss project updates
14:10:48 <whoami-rajat> I signed up for cinder to provide it
14:10:55 <whoami-rajat> if anyone is interested, they can watch it on youtube
14:10:57 <rosmaita> \o/
14:11:01 <whoami-rajat> date and time: 05th October, 2023 - 1400 UTC
14:12:25 <whoami-rajat> it is mostly going to be related to the cycle highlights + a little more detail on the CVE part
14:12:57 <whoami-rajat> so yeah, if you are interested, do join or watch the recording later
14:13:05 <jungleboyj> Nice!
14:13:31 <whoami-rajat> :)
14:13:59 <whoami-rajat> finally we have the reminder to add topics for PTG
14:14:17 <whoami-rajat> this will be a weekly thing till PTG
14:14:33 <whoami-rajat> #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/caracal-ptg-cinder-planning
14:14:39 <whoami-rajat> here is the planning etherpad
14:16:30 <whoami-rajat> so yeah, please add your topics on time, it will help me arrange them in the best way possible
14:16:53 <whoami-rajat> lastly, here are some upcoming events
14:16:54 <whoami-rajat> Final 2023.2 Bobcat release: October 4, 2023
14:16:54 <whoami-rajat> 2024.1 Caracal Virtual PTG: October 23-27, 2023
14:17:04 <whoami-rajat> which is nothing but the bobcat release and caracal PTG
14:17:27 <whoami-rajat> that's it for the announcements
14:17:49 <whoami-rajat> anyone has anything interesting that the team should be aware about
14:19:31 <whoami-rajat> let's move to the topics then
14:19:38 <whoami-rajat> #topic RC2 patches
14:19:46 <whoami-rajat> #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-bobcat-rc-patches
14:20:07 <whoami-rajat> so some of the patches and their backports merged
14:20:09 <whoami-rajat> which is good
14:20:25 <whoami-rajat> let me quickly highlight the patches that are merged in master but no backports have been proposed
14:20:40 <whoami-rajat> just a reminder that these patches won't be part of Bobcat cycle
14:20:50 <whoami-rajat> 1. Dell: Dell PowerStore [DOC] : Correct PowerStore NFS driver document to support extending volume (roquej)
14:20:50 <whoami-rajat> master: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/893330
14:20:59 <whoami-rajat> 2. Dell: Dell PowerFlex : password appears in plain text when creating a volume from an image (roquej)
14:20:59 <whoami-rajat> :master: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/885979
14:21:05 <whoami-rajat> 3. Dell: Dell PowerFlex - Rescue instance failing with PowerFlex 4.x (roquej)
14:21:05 <whoami-rajat> master: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/885772
14:21:35 <whoami-rajat> coming to the patch that has a backport
14:21:48 <whoami-rajat> [Nimble] Enable thin provisioning as default (raghavendrat)
14:21:54 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/896205
14:22:13 <whoami-rajat> I've reviewed it, need another core to merge this one ^
14:22:26 <rosmaita> i reviewed the master patch, will look at this one
14:22:31 <whoami-rajat> i mean review if not appropriate and merge if appropriate
14:22:36 <whoami-rajat> thanks rosmaita !
14:22:39 <raghavendrat> thanks Rajat, Brian
14:23:13 <whoami-rajat> no problem
14:23:27 <whoami-rajat> finally let's discuss some of the patches that need review
14:23:33 <whoami-rajat> 1. Dell:Generic NFS - Implement disk format validation in volume metadata (roquej)
14:23:34 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/887081
14:23:41 <whoami-rajat> so this is passing CI now
14:23:52 <whoami-rajat> i think the issue was, the save call wasn't made as an admin
14:24:49 <happystacker> that's correct, it works fine now
14:24:58 <whoami-rajat> cool
14:25:51 <whoami-rajat> I don't have an NFS deployment so won't be able to test it, would be good to know that this works as expected
14:26:04 <whoami-rajat> also this is a change in our generic nfs driver from which other drivers inherit from
14:26:11 <whoami-rajat> so any wrong change can break other vendor drivers as well
14:26:19 <happystacker> I had tested it with NFS
14:26:24 <happystacker> Yes true
14:26:54 <rosmaita> has anyone from netapp looked it over?
14:27:02 <whoami-rajat> good question
14:27:37 <rosmaita> looks like the netapp ci is ok with the patch
14:27:55 <rosmaita> not sure it would actually encounter this change, though
14:28:30 <whoami-rajat> somehow I've failed with NFS scenarios that aren't covered in tempest, so I rely more on some manual scenario tests
14:29:06 <whoami-rajat> would be good if someone from netapp takes a look
14:29:16 <eharney> that patch might do the wrong thing for NFS drivers that inherit from the generic one
14:29:53 <eharney> not sure, need to look closer
14:31:03 <msaravan> Sure, we'll take a look at it rajat
14:31:23 <whoami-rajat> that doesn't give a good feeling since tomorrow is the RC2 release
14:31:25 <happystacker> Thanks
14:31:26 <whoami-rajat> thanks msaravan !
14:31:59 <whoami-rajat> this one seems covered
14:32:02 <whoami-rajat> let's move to the next one
14:32:06 <whoami-rajat> 2. Dell: Dell PowerFlex: Unnecessary login happen (roquej)
14:32:12 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/876284
14:32:28 <whoami-rajat> so i reiterated our discussion during last cinder meeting to update the commit message
14:33:31 <whoami-rajat> it's updated now so we can take a look at it again
14:34:11 <happystacker> facing some issue with Zuul on os-brick-src-tempest-lvm-lio-barbican, not sure it's related
14:35:52 <whoami-rajat> failure looks unrelated
14:36:05 <happystacker> yeah that was my feeling too
14:36:13 <whoami-rajat> anyway, we can review it again
14:36:18 <whoami-rajat> thanks for the update
14:36:43 <whoami-rajat> finally we have
14:36:45 <whoami-rajat> 3. [HPE 3par] Fix issue seen during retype/migrate
14:36:52 <whoami-rajat> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/887559
14:38:34 <whoami-rajat> i signed up to review this
14:39:02 <raghavendrat> ok
14:39:09 <whoami-rajat> but to be honest, I'm not sure i understand all the changes
14:39:19 <whoami-rajat> the patch is doing a lot of things
14:39:52 <whoami-rajat> but yeah i will remind myself to look at it later today
14:40:12 <raghavendrat> thanks
14:40:19 <whoami-rajat> but will still need another reviewer
14:41:00 <whoami-rajat> that's all the patches we have for RC2
14:41:39 <whoami-rajat> in the meantime i see we have patches up for the Dell backports
14:41:45 <whoami-rajat> so please take a look at them as well
14:41:47 <happystacker> I have cherry-picked all the patches (the 3 above) for backporting them to 2023.2
14:42:01 <whoami-rajat> thanks happystacker
14:42:09 <happystacker> I wasn't aware that we had to, I'm still learning sorry for that
14:43:10 <whoami-rajat> no problem
14:43:18 <whoami-rajat> that was all for this topic
14:43:28 <whoami-rajat> let's move to the next one (which looks important)
14:43:34 <whoami-rajat> #topic gates
14:43:39 <whoami-rajat> rosmaita, i guess that's you?
14:43:45 <rosmaita> hello
14:43:55 <rosmaita> yes, i think we have some gate breakage since yesterday
14:44:11 <rosmaita> cinder-tempest-plugin-lvm-lio-barbican and related jobs
14:44:24 <rosmaita> i think i have a fix posted, but won't be sure for a while
14:44:30 <rosmaita> https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinderlib/+/896658
14:44:46 <whoami-rajat> another cycle where cinder breaks cinderlib :D
14:45:00 <rosmaita> and cinderlib returns the favor by breaking our gates!
14:45:24 <whoami-rajat> :(
14:45:52 <whoami-rajat> so IIUC, this will unblock the gates but doesn't solve the actual problem, i.e. change cinderlib code to be compatible with sqlalchemy 2.0
14:46:07 <rosmaita> anyway, i will watch the patch and hopefully it works and then i will ping people in the cinder channel for reviews/approval
14:46:29 <rosmaita> whoami-rajat: correct, that will have to be done in cinderlib over the next few months
14:47:11 <whoami-rajat> ok great, thanks for the fix, let me know once zuul votes on it
14:47:29 <rosmaita> will do
14:47:45 <rosmaita> may have to also watch this patch, that actually runs that test:
14:47:55 <rosmaita> https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder-tempest-plugin/+/896594
14:48:54 <rosmaita> i guess that's all from me
14:49:31 <whoami-rajat> that patch kills to birds with one stone
14:49:54 <whoami-rajat> great, thanks for the update!
14:50:42 <whoami-rajat> that's all the topics we had for today
14:50:46 <whoami-rajat> let's move to open discussion
14:50:49 <whoami-rajat> #topic open discussion
14:54:02 <whoami-rajat> jbernard, is having issues with his laptop so he might start the bug squad meeting a little late
14:54:15 <whoami-rajat> just letting people know if they wonder why the bug squad meeting didn't start on time
14:56:28 <rosmaita> ack
14:59:52 <whoami-rajat> we're out of time
14:59:56 <whoami-rajat> thanks everyone for joining
15:00:02 <whoami-rajat> do remember to add topics for the PTG!
