## Observation When starting a job with an asset which is a symlink, openQA dies with the following error message ~~~ qemu-img: Could not open '/var/lib/openqa/pool/4/ignition.qcow2': Failed to lock byte 201 ~~~ ph03nix wrote: > cdywan wrote: > > > Can you clarify e.g. is this a recent regression? Maybe if you have a job that used to work? If it wasn't already cleaned up in the meanwhile, adding this ticket would stop it from being removed. > > This is a recent regression. I have a automated script that creates symlinks to assets, which used to work until recently it stopped working with exactly this issue. > > I only have failures on my own openQA instance, but it's trivial to reproduce the issue (use a symlinked asset) ## Steps to reproduce * Create asset, which is a symlink * Start a job with this asset as `HDD_1` variable (or `HDD_2`, ...) ## Impact * Regression, this means we can not have symlinks as asset files ## Problem * No hypothesis ## Suggestion * Investigate what the actual problem is * Try to reproduce the problem with os-autoinst only. If not reproducible check if this needs an openQA worker with or without enabled worker cache ## Workarounds * Use hard-links or copies of asset files
