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)
