All,
Looking for some advice re: a tooling bug. The problem (bug) has to do with sosreport incorrectly determining whether or not it's not running w/in a SPC container. The context is always going to be from within an SPC, on an RHEL/Fedora/CentOS Atomic host. Sosreport needs to be useful in helping diagnosing __host__ problems, with container data-collection being a secondary use-case.
To address detection, we're aware of 'container=docker', and 'HOST', but both seem quite flimsy. We've also considered a check based on /proc/1/root. We also understand "container-ness" in some cases may be intentionally obscured for security/isolation purposes.
For the general case (no security issue), in RHEL/Fedora/Centos Atomic Host, within a SPC context, is checking the container env. var still the preferred method?
Thanks in advance for any advice on this. -- Chris Evich, RHCA, RHCE, RHCDS, RHCSS Quality Assurance Engineer Eeek! A BUG!!! -- Nooooo don't squash it!!! -- That's job-security!!!
