openos-autoinst: Loading snapshots during development does not work when using simulated usb thumbdrive as install medium
0%
Description
observation¶
Trying to load qemu img snapshots using "SKIPTO=…" on openQA client command fails to load the snapshot even though the according hard disk image has the according snapshot.
I added a debug output to find the error message and will provide a PR to os-autoinst for that, but that's not the issue here.

Device 'usbstick' does not have the requested snapshot 'console-xorg_vt' at /local/os-autoinst/backend/qemu.pm line 217.
steps to reproduce¶
- clone any USBinstall job from o3/osd
- make sure to run your worker with
--no-cleanupand such for using qemu snapshots - after one run, clone again with
SKIPTO=… - observe the error in autoinst-log.txt
problem¶
H1. qemu is confused where to load snapshots from when specifying a simulated USB thumbdrive as second drive which is not a cdrom
workaround¶
Need to run the complete test from scratch without the use of snapshots.

- Priority changed from Normal to Low
- Target version set to Ready
but rollback works in these scenarios, no? I assume the problem is that we pass usbstick as SLE-12-SP3-Server-DVD-x86_64-Build0207-Media1.iso,snapshot=on - but of course the snapshot didn't happen there. But I can't predict what happens without the snapshot=on - the code is as old as snapshoting in os-autoinst :)

- Has duplicate action #35410: Test interrupts while using boot from USB with the 'SKIPTO' parameter simultaneously added
Updated by okurz about 5 years ago
- Status changed from New to Workable
The description has well explained "steps to reproduce". I consider this workable
Updated by okurz over 4 years ago
- Tags set to beginner, os-autoinst, snapshots
- Target version changed from Ready to future
I think this could be a good beginner task. Considering that and because the impact is low we can remove it from the backlog of the SUSE QA Tools team.
