Use ext4 (instead of ext2) for /var/lib/openqa on qa-power8 workers
Added by mkittler over 1 year ago.
Updated over 1 year ago.
Description
Those two workers use ext2 as file system for the partition /var/lib/openqa
is mounted on which has no journaling and is therefore quite error prone (see #114565#note-35). It would make sense to re-format the related partition to use ext4 instead because those workers don't run the service to re-create the file system on boot (and therefore the file system is persistent).
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: qa-power8-4 and *-5 use a journaling-enabled file system for
/var/lib/openqa
(e.g. ext4)
Further notes¶
- powerqaworker-qam-1 is not affected because it has no extra mount for
/var/lib/openqa
(so the data is just stored on the root file system using btrfs)

I paused the alert "Failed systemd services alert (except openqa.suse.de)" due to related alerts and added a rollback step to the description

The only failed service that's currently left is on grenache-1 which I haven't touched. (The other failing services were caused by my work but that should now be resolved.)
I re-created the filesystem on both hosts and made necessary adjustments and rebooted them to see whether it is correctly mounted on startup. It all looks good so far.

Both workers are still running without further alerts so I guess we're good.
