action #180698
closed"Rollback of updates" wiki section outdated size:S
0%
Description
Observation¶
https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqav3/wiki/#Rollback-of-updates says "transactional-update" which isn't true anymore since long. This needs to be updated.
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: Wiki section is up-to-date
Suggestions¶
- Check current o3 workers for their state, e.g. do we have now consistently btrfs with snapshots? I guess not so we need to write it down accordingly.
- Keep the section about just rolling back package updates from /var/cache/zypp/ which should still be relevant
Out of scope¶
- Fix the empty package cache #180701

After some auth issues, i was finally able to check workers. Started with openqaworker20 – openqaworker28, arm21/22, and qa-power8-3.
Most use a consistent layout with btrfs as root filesystem and a seperate (~5TB) ext4 partition for /var/lib/openqa, which is of course not covered by btfrs snapshots/rollbacks.
Some workers stand out so far:
- openqaworker23 has multiple container storage overlays, each 476 GB in size, are they covered ?
- arm21/22 and aarch64-o3 store everything—including /var/lib/openqa—on a large single btrfs volume.
- qa-power8-3 uses an "older" layout without RAID, with a smaller /var/lib/openqa, also its latest snapshot is over a month old while all other workers had current snapshots (Fri 07 Mar 2025 04:53:02 AM GMT)

- Status changed from In Progress to Feedback
qa-power8-o3 is not yet upgraded to Leap 15.6 and has active zypper locks, so i guess the missing zypper snapshots will be therefore be resolved in the future.
@mkittler brought to my attention that there where multiple sections covering commands specific to transactional-update servers, not just the rollback section.
I have adjusted all wiki sections, removed and replaced commands with equivalents where applicable. DIFF.
As there are now several changes to the wiki, maybe someone can review my changes before we resolve this ?

Updates look fine to me. Not sure if others have seen them. Maybe we're good here then?

I think @tinita also had a look already, as she removed my previous feedback tag. Though maybe that was just due to my vacation days, not sure. Resolving tomorrow, if there are no objections until then.

- Monitor if nightly update works, e.g. look at the for journal entries of and
openqa-continuous-update.serviceandrebootmgr.serviceentry:
I think there is something missing here or an "and" to much at the beginning. Otherwise the changes look reasonable (I used https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqav3/wiki/Wiki/diff?utf8=%E2%9C%93&commit=View+differences&version=315&version_from=313 btw to review them)
