A new feature in cloud-init identified possible datasources for

this system as:

['NoCloud', 'None']

However, the datasource used was: ConfigDrive

In the future, cloud-init will only attempt to use datasources that

are identified or specifically configured.

For more information see

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1669675

If you are seeing this message, please file a bug against

cloud-init at

https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+filebug?field.tags=dsid

Make sure to include the cloud provider your instance is

running on.

After you have filed a bug, you can disable this warning by launching

your instance with the cloud-config below, or putting that content

into /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-warnings.cfg

cloud-config

warnings:

dsid_missing_source: off

---

Disable the warnings above by:   touch /root/.cloud-warnings.skip or   touch /var/lib/cloud/instance/warnings/.skip

This is in IBM Bluemix, I believe they use openstack (as hinted below)

I don't know anything about cloud-init data sources, but here's how I retrieve user_data manually from within these instances:

root@:~# mkdir -p /tmp/meta root@:~# mount /dev/xvdh1 /tmp/meta root@:~# tree /tmp/meta /tmp/meta ├── meta.js └── openstack     ├── content     │   └── interfaces     └── latest         ├── meta_data.json         └── user_data

3 directories, 4 files root@:~#

This is going to take some work. The cloud-images built to run on IBM Bluemix are very odd. To my understanding, they actually have data in /var/lib/cloud/nocloud and then sometimes also have a config drive attached. I'm not sure if the config drive has a valid label or not (config-v2).

I'm going to need some help from CPC team here.

I've just confirmed this, launched a vm in bluemix/softlayer and ssh'd in.

After seeing the warning, I did: $ sudo umount /var/lib/cloud/seed/config_drive $ sudo rm -Rf /var/lib/cloud/seed/config_drive/ /var/lib/cloud/{data,handlers,instance,instances,scripts,sem}

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cloud-init ... Setting up cloud-init (0.7.9-113-g513e99e0-0ubuntu1~16.04.1) ...

$ sudo reboot

I still see the warnings.

"BlueMix" is no longer a product, and we have an IBM datasource with working checks in ds-identify.
