mkfs's arguments are mkfs [options] [-t type] [fs-options] device [size] So it seems our MKFS_OPTS are really supposed to be fs-options, rather than options to mkfs itself. Why didn't we notice? It's quite a trap -- mkfs.ext2 has a "-t" option, so when we're calling $ mkfs -i 4096 ... -t ext4 ... We actually just fall-back to the default from the mkfs wrapper which is mkfs.ext2 which works! But when you make that, say, xfs, we're not calling the right wrapper at all. Also update documentation Closes-Bug: #1648287 Change-Id: I3ea5807088ab361bd9c235c07fb1553fbaf9178b
Image building tools for OpenStack
diskimage-builder is a flexible suite of components for
building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk
images for use with OpenStack.
This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.
For example:
$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntuwill create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2
image.
diskimage-builder is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the
components of TripleO that are
responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to
build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
