From f03bfd30206c1d21de7e5c9ef2f6ed79f6ee13f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandru Avadanii Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2020 17:33:13 +0100 Subject: baremetal, virtual: Bump kernel to hwe-18.04 (5.0) On some aarch64 platforms (e.g. ThunderX 1), lvcreate manifests some spurious timing issues resulting in incomplete/corrupted LVM thin creation and eventually to transaction ID mismatch between userspace and kernel space. This eventually leads to cinder-volume issues, either when creating the thin storage pool (vgroot-pool) and/or when creating the LVs inside said pool. The issue manifests spuriously on Ubuntu Bionic + UCA, so until a working combination of userspace/kernel is found, work around this by bumping the kernel package to hwe-18.04 (kernel 5.0), effectively bypassing the timing issues during volume creation. This affects all cluster machines (both HA and NOHA scenarios, baremetal and virtual, x86_64 and aarch64, baremetal and virtualized nodes). Note: Ubuntu Bionic cloud image partition handling requires e2fsprogs 1.43, not currently available on Ubuntu Xenial / CentOS 7.
