v4.6.2 Release Notes
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
v4.6.2 is a regularly-scheduled minor release in the v4.6.x series. It also
|
|
includes a preview implementation of the ability to provision the OS image to
|
|
a local disk.
|
|
|
|
Significant changes are described below. Additional changes are listed in the
|
|
`CHANGELOG`_.

Provisioning to disk
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
v4.6.2 includes a preview implementation of the ability to provision the node
|
|
image to a local disk. This includes the ability to provision disks earlier in
|
|
the boot process, primarily during the first phase of a two-phase boot using
|
|
dracut.
|
|
|
|
Disks may be provisioned using ``ignition``, as before; but may now also be
|
|
provisioned using new ``sfdisk``, ``mkfs``, and ``mkswap`` overlays, and to
|
|
mount configured file systems using ``systemd.mount`` and ``systemd.swap``
|
|
overlays. These overlays may also each be configured using overlay-specific
|
|
"resources", which may provide additional control compared to Warewulf's built-in disk,
|
|
partition, and file system configuration.
|
|
|
|
To support more complex partition layouts, ``wwctl <node|profile> set
|
|
--parttype`` has been added to specify non-default partition types. This is
|
|
particularly useful when creating an EFI partition, which may be used in a
|
|
future release to configure serverless local booting.
|
|
|
|
Finally, ``wwctl profile set`` has been fixed to now properly support
|
|
configuration of disks, partitions and file systems.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
REST API
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
v4.6.2 continues development of the REST API, properly handling attempts to
|
|
create a node that already exists, and fetching uid, gid, and mode permissions
|
|
for overlay files. The previous gRPC-based API servers and client have also been
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
Other fixes
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
- NetworkManager now waits for interfaces to come online before provisioning with Dracut.
|
|
- The ``udev.netname`` overlay now properly handles InfiniBand interfaces in more cases.
|
|
- Fixed a regression in SELinux support by restoring the ``/run`` mount during wwinit.
|
|
- GRUB now properly reports errors and reboots when an error occurs.
|
|
- Fixed IPMI VLAN configuration.
|
|
- Preserve existing permissions during ``wwctl overlay edit``.
|
|
- Fix CSV processing during ``wwctl node import --csv``.
