@dcantah@jglogan

Is there a proper way to test these changes? I don't see any testing patterns for the vminitd api and I am sure there are some kinks that I need to fix.

@saehejkang Congrats! And it's a good question.

I'm wondering if you could make a copy of one of the really simple "run container and exec a command" integration tests and extend it so that it does this instead:

  • create an ext4 disk image file with a blank filesystem on it, defer its deletion
  • run the container, with the disk image mounted to /data
  • run a freeze operation
  • exec an echo hello > /data/hello.txt
  • copy (clone) the disk image file, defer its deletion
  • run a thaw operation
  • stop the container
  • run another container, with the clone mounted to '/data'
  • exec dmesg, ensure that the /data filesystem does not need fsck and mounted cleanly
  • exec an ls /data, ensure that hello.txt does not exist
  • stop the container

@saehejkang I ran into two errors when running make all integration:

  • The defer-remove of cloneImageURL was removing the cloned image was removing the cloned image before it could be used in a later scope. Suite.swift removes testDir at the end of the tests, so the removes should be unnecessary.
  • The dmesg check was failing; the output I was seeing when running the test was:
    [ 0.310796] EXT4-fs (vdc): warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
    [ 0.310975] EXT4-fs (vdc): mounted filesystem 8a5c73a9-3c81-45b5-909f-d4708ebfa119 r/w without journal. Quota mode: disabled.
    

I think that the prior mount check should be sufficient to ensure that the cloned fs was able to be mounted. Here's what I changed to get tests to pass:

Is there a proper way to test these changes? I don't see any testing patterns for the vminitd api and I am sure there are some kinks that I need to fix.

@saehejkang Congrats! And it's a good question.

I'm wondering if you could make a copy of one of the really simple "run container and exec a command" integration tests and extend it so that it does this instead:

  • create an ext4 disk image file with a blank filesystem on it, defer its deletion
  • run the container, with the disk image mounted to /data
  • run a freeze operation
  • exec an echo hello > /data/hello.txt
  • copy (clone) the disk image file, defer its deletion
  • run a thaw operation
  • stop the container
  • run another container, with the clone mounted to '/data'
  • exec dmesg, ensure that the /data filesystem does not need fsck and mounted cleanly
  • exec an ls /data, ensure that hello.txt does not exist
  • stop the container

@saehejkang I ran into two errors when running make all integration:

  • The defer-remove of cloneImageURL was removing the cloned image was removing the cloned image before it could be used in a later scope. Suite.swift removes testDir at the end of the tests, so the removes should be unnecessary.
  • The dmesg check was failing; the output I was seeing when running the test was:
    [ 0.310796] EXT4-fs (vdc): warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
    [ 0.310975] EXT4-fs (vdc): mounted filesystem 8a5c73a9-3c81-45b5-909f-d4708ebfa119 r/w without journal. Quota mode: disabled.
    

I think that the prior mount check should be sufficient to ensure that the cloned fs was able to be mounted. Here's what I changed to get tests to pass:

Is there a proper way to test these changes? I don't see any testing patterns for the vminitd api and I am sure there are some kinks that I need to fix.

@saehejkang Congrats! And it's a good question.

I'm wondering if you could make a copy of one of the really simple "run container and exec a command" integration tests and extend it so that it does this instead:

  • create an ext4 disk image file with a blank filesystem on it, defer its deletion
  • run the container, with the disk image mounted to /data
  • run a freeze operation
  • exec an echo hello > /data/hello.txt
  • copy (clone) the disk image file, defer its deletion
  • run a thaw operation
  • stop the container
  • run another container, with the clone mounted to '/data'
  • exec dmesg, ensure that the /data filesystem does not need fsck and mounted cleanly
  • exec an ls /data, ensure that hello.txt does not exist
  • stop the container

@saehejkang I ran into two errors when running make all integration:

  • The defer-remove of cloneImageURL was removing the cloned image was removing the cloned image before it could be used in a later scope. Suite.swift removes testDir at the end of the tests, so the removes should be unnecessary.
  • The dmesg check was failing; the output I was seeing when running the test was:
    [ 0.310796] EXT4-fs (vdc): warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
    [ 0.310975] EXT4-fs (vdc): mounted filesystem 8a5c73a9-3c81-45b5-909f-d4708ebfa119 r/w without journal. Quota mode: disabled.
    

I think that the prior mount check should be sufficient to ensure that the cloned fs was able to be mounted. Here's what I changed to get tests to pass:
