Ansible interactive prompt and lxd init

helllb commented 4 years ago

Hello,

The ansible playbook for automatic configuration of workers (Distrinet/mininet/mininet/provision/playbooks/configure-lxd-no-clustering.yml) does not halt. I guess the reason is that the interactive prompt Size in GB of the new loop device of lxd init does not require adding units (i.e. the user must answer with "15" instead of "15GB" for example).

For information, this happens on Ubuntu 18.04 with LXD 3.0.1.

Hello, did you use the ansible-playbooks (Distrinet/mininet/mininet/provision/playbooks/install-lxd.yml) to install lxd on the hosts?

Yes. You can reproduce the error by using R2Lab's fit01 and fit02 loaded with the u18.04 image.

root@fit01:~# lxd init
Would you like to use LXD clustering? (yes/no) [default=no]: 
Do you want to configure a new storage pool? (yes/no) [default=yes]: 
Name of the new storage pool [default=default]: 
Name of the storage backend to use (btrfs, dir, lvm) [default=btrfs]: 
Create a new BTRFS pool? (yes/no) [default=yes]: 
Would you like to use an existing block device? (yes/no) [default=no]: 
Size in GB of the new loop device (1GB minimum) [default=39GB]: 15GB
Invalid input, try again.

Size in GB of the new loop device (1GB minimum) [default=39GB]: 15GB
Invalid input, try again

Size in GB of the new loop device (1GB minimum) [default=39GB]:

Thus when using the lxd configuration playbook it gets stuck at TASK [lxd configuration]. Editing "15GB" into "15" in the yml file for the playbook solves the problem.

ok, I guess the problem is LXD 3.0.1, can you try with a version >= 3.0.3

I confirm that I have no issues with using GB in LXD 3.0.4 on Debian 10.0.3 or LXD 3.0.3 on Ubuntu 18.04.4.

helllb commented 4 years ago

Indeed no issues with LXD 3.0.3.

Thanks to both for you!
