The proposal to merge ~ogayot/curtin:nvme-o-tcp-storageconfig into curtin:master has been updated.
Commit message changed to: block: initial support for NVMe over TCP This MP adds partial support for NVMe over TCP. In the storage configuration, NVMe drives can now have a "nvme_controller" property, holding the identifier to an existing nvme_controller object (which is new), e.g., ``` - type: disk id: disk-nvme0n1 path: /dev/nvme0n1 nvme_controller: nvme-controller-nvme0 - type: disk id: disk-nvme1n1 path: /dev/nvme1n1 nvme_controller: nvme-controller-nvme1 - type: nvme_controller id: nvme-controller-nvme0 transport: pcie - type: nvme_controller id: nvme-controller-nvme1 transport: tcp tcp_port: 4420 tcp_addr: 1.2.3.4 ``` In the presence of a nvme_controller section having transport=tcp in the storage config, curtin will install nvme-stas (and nvme-cli) and configure the service so that the drives can be discovered and made available when the target system boots. Current limitations: * For the target system to boot correctly, we only support placing non-critical partitions (e.g., /home) on remote storage. For the next iteration, the plan is to support placing the rootfs (i.e., /) on remote NVMe drives, while preserving the /boot and /boot/efi partitions on local storage. * If a nvme_controller section is present in the storage configuration, curtin will end up installing nvme-stas and nvme-cli on the target system ; even if the nvme_controller section denotes the use of PCIe (local storage). * Curtin itself will not automatically append the _netdev option if a given mount uses remote storage, so we would expect the storage configuration to specify the option, e.g.: ``` -type: mount path: /home device: ... options: defaults,_netdev id: mount-2 ``` For more details, see: https://code.launchpad.net/~ogayot/curtin/+git/curtin/+merge/458446 -- Your team curtin developers is subscribed to branch curtin:master. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~curtin-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~curtin-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
