I'm not sure if ddstreet is taking this topic, or we should skip it? 16:04 #info chiluk plans an FFe for haproxy 16:04 Thanks chiluk! 16:05 chiluk: for the reload bit? 16:05 yep 16:05 rbasak nothing from me or slashd as far as i know 16:05 I tried to get it finished last week, but things just didn't happen. 16:05 Thanks ddstreet! 16:05 #info No updates on this topic from slashd or ddstreet 16:05 #topic Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (powersj) 16:05 Last week got mirroring of Launchpad recipe build results into our jenkins and attended the cloud-init summit. 16:06 This week more cloud-init work on generic integration tests 16:06 questions comments? 16:07 #link https://jenkins.ubuntu.com/server/ 16:07 #info Last week got mirroring of Launchpad recipe build results into our jenkins and attended the cloud-init summit. 16:07 I wanted to add on the testing 16:07 #info This week more cloud-init work on generic integration tests 16:08 I analyzed the current failing cases on the server jenkisn virt cases - all are current known cases and I hope to resolve them by fixing up artful 16:08 but I have a reglar schedule to check and improve so it will converge on green at some point in time 16:08 o/ woohoo thanks cpaelzer 16:08 #info cpaelzer analyzed the current failing cases on the server jenkins virt cases. All are current known cases and he hopes to resolve them by fixing up artful 16:08 Thanks cpaelzer and powersj! 16:08 #topic Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb, sforshee) 16:09 Nothing new from kernel directly, but I had a few things outside kernel which I wanted to mention: 16:09 One is that we observed some test failures of ubuntu-fan on 16:09 s390x. The reasons for those I suspect beyond fan or kernel. 16:09 I believe this is because I set up the two guests which show 16:09 issues, using netplan. The result is that resolv.conf now 16:09 only has systemd-resolvd as nameserver. And I suspect, but 16:09 no proof yet, that for some reason that maybe rejects queries 16:09 issued from within docker (and maybe lxc, too) containers. 16:09 I would file a LP bug if this is not something known already. 16:09 - Second, flashcache: thats a (dkms) package which used to 16:09 provide some way to add a SSD/NVMe cache to a spinning block 16:09 #info Nothing new from kernel directly 16:09 device (mostly like bcache but without adding meta-data 16:09 anywhere). It is no longer comiling with 4.12/4.13 kernels, 16:09 which actually is a good thing. Problem is this is abandoned 16:09 upstream and when I "fixed" the compile to work with some 16:09 pretty heavy upstream kernel changes, I actually converted 16:09 it into a complicated /dev/null for any kernel between 4.8 16:09 and 4.11. So plan is to pretty soon make it not compile at 16:09 #info some observed some test failures of ubuntu-fan on s390x 16:09 all for those kernels. If there is some documentation any- 16:09 where which should be updated, please let me know. Does 16:09 not need to be here. 16:09 Ok, thats all I had. Are there any other questions? 16:10 smb, is ubuntu-fan at all supported, since i did not think we ever released anything for z with ubuntu-fan support? 16:10 #info flashcache: thats a (dkms) package which used to provide some way to add a SSD/NVMe cache to a spinning block device: no longer compiling 16:10 smb, and no, nothing of the sort is known yet. Then again I do not believe anybody has tried using ubuntu-fan on s390x. 16:10 xnox, its a generic package and the smoke test was working before 16:11 smb, my understanding it was aws specific, yet the reason for ubuntu-fan is now moot. 16:11 xnox, also note that I do not think its a problem of the package 16:11 ack, 16:11 xnox, its failing because docker cannot resolve dns names 16:11 smb, finding and fixing bugs is always good. and docker not doing resolvy things sounds bad. 16:12 xnox, ack, so I will file something soonish and subscribe you to it for the know 16:14 Thanks smb and xnox! 16:14 ah smb you remember I mentioned https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-08/msg05286.html 16:14 It seems to be to "only" be queued to 4.14 and -stable 16:14 cpaelzer, I remember you mentioned it but I might have blanked for what reason 16:14 but the impact of this could be huge, so you probably want that on release instead of SRU'ing later 16:15 TL;DR Bug, solution is disable empty zero-page for KVm on s390x 16:15 which on a bunch of guests not fully using their mem can be quite a lot of extra mem 16:15 cpaelzer: best thing to do is file a bug and subscribe me 16:15 but the assumption is that real guests over time consume (cache) all their mem anyway 16:15 I'll do so sforshee 16:16 cpaelzer: actually just assign it to me 16:16 it was only heads up before, but yeah a bug might be good at this point 16:16 Ah I was about to say something like that. Or submit the patch as [unstable] ... to kernel-team mailing list 16:17 but bug reports are alway a good thing to remember stuff at that stage 16:18 #topic Upcoming Call For Papers 16:18 #link https://lwn.net/Calendar/Monthly/cfp/ 16:18 #link http://www.open-zfs.org/wiki/OpenZFS_Developer_Summit 16:19 I see that the deadline for this is #link http://www.open-zfs.org/wiki/OpenZFS_Developer_Summit 16:19 Uh, Sep 4, 2017 16:19 Any other CfPs to mention? 16:20 #topic Ubuntu Server Team Events 16:20 Any upcoming events? 16:20 #info No upcoming events were mentioned 16:20 #topic Open Discussion 16:20 AOB? 16:20 #info No further discussion 16:20 #topic Announce next meeting date, time and chair 16:21 #info Next meeting: Tue 5 Sep 16:00:00 UTC 2017 16:21 #info smoser will chair 16:21 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
