Acceptance test fail with [lsblk: /dev/mapper/mpatheh: not a block device]

Question

Acceptance test fail with [lsblk: /dev/mapper/mpatheh: not a block device]

shay-berman opened this issue 8 years ago · comments

The following acceptance test failed during testing the IBM Flocker driver [flocker.acceptance.endtoend.test_dockerplugin.DockerPluginTests.test_create_sized_volume_with_v2_plugin_api ]

Any advice?

Here is the test error :

Hey @shay-berman,

Sorry for delayed reply.

It could be that the version of lsblk running inside the container is older / different than the version that you're running on the host.
The test launches a python:2.7-slim image and runs inside it a Python HTTP server that looks up the device for the supplied mount point and then runs lsblk on that device to get the reported size of the device and returns the size when an HTTP client connects to it.

It sounds complicated, but it's done that way to give a better end-to-end coverage and to avoid having to SSH into the acceptance node.

Some ideas:

Run a python:2.7-slim container interactively with the /flocker/xxx-yyy-zzz mount point as a volume and double check that you get the same blockdevice reported by findmnt and that lsblk exits with an error. See:
- https://github.com/ClusterHQ/flocker/blob/1.15.0/flocker/acceptance/endtoend/test_dockerplugin.py#L95
- https://github.com/ClusterHQ/flocker/blob/1.15.0/flocker/acceptance/scripts/lsblkhttp.py#L44
See if you can instead use cat /sys/block/mpathkh/size and check that it shows the expected size (in bytes)
modify that test to use cat /sys/block/sda/size instead of lsblk
Check the version of lsblk --version inside python:2.7-slim and compare with the version on the server.
See if there's a newer python:2.7 container image (perhaps based on Ubuntu 16.04) or just try using ubuntu:16.04 image instead.

Hi @wallnerryan

lsblk command fails with "lsblk: /dev/mapper/mpathah: not a block device" because the multipath device does not exist inside the container (actually the whole dir /dev/mapper doesn't exist inside the container).
And its not related to the lsblk version (BTW the lsblk version inside the container is higher that our side of the container)

Here are my follow up to your requests from the previous replay :

You asked me to test it with image python:2.7-slim. So the problem remains also in python:2.7-slim.
here are some outputs of create 1GB vol and run container with it :

root@c6f0c3b20eb0:/# ls -l /dev/dm-7
ls: cannot access /dev/dm-7: No such file or directory

You asked me to use cat /sys/block/mpathkh/size instead of lsblk.
So since /sys/block/mpathkh does not exist inside the container(BTW neither on the host it self) I cannot get its size.
but I can get the size by using its internal device dm-x device(/sys/block/dm-7) which does exist inside the container. (BTW the data inside /sys/block/[device]/size is in 512-byte BLOCKs and not in Bytes)
but unfortunately i don't know how to identify inside the container that /dev/mapper/mpathah correlated to it dm-x device(/sys/block/dm-7).
I can see two possible options (@wallrj, any other ideas? ):
a. to run your container with -v /dev:/dev, then the lsblk /dev/mapper/mpathah will work.
b. to change our driver.get_device_path() so instead of returning /dev/mpath/[device], it will return the /dev/dm-[x] device. BUT according to this the /dev/dm-[x] should not be used.
here are some outputs about getting the size of the device :

You asked to "modify that test to use cat /sys/block/[device]/size instead of lsblk" but as I mentioned inside the container I do not there is no access to /sys/block/[mapper device]/size inside the container.
lsblk version number inside the container is actualy higher then host it self :

root@c6f0c3b20eb0:/# lsblk --version
lsblk from util-linux 2.25.2

[root@docker-c1-n1 ~]# lsblk --version
lsblk from util-linux 2.23.2

You asked me to test it with ubuntu:16.04 image, but the problem remains even in this new image.

In addition,
I wonder how other vendors pass this specific test [test_create_sized_volume_with_v2_plugin_api], because also netapp flocker driver and xio flocker driver return /dev/mpath/[device] from the get_device_path().

@wallrj any suggestions?

I agree, that we should not examine the dm-x device.

The only other option I can think of, is to run the container in privileged mode.

[~]$ docker run --rm python:2.7-slim ls -l /dev/mapper

I don't know. I suppose they may have skipped that test.

What is the easier way to apply my suggestion, to run the container with /dev:/dev ?

Acceptance test fail with [lsblk: /dev/mapper/mpatheh: not a block device]

BTW if i run the lsblk outside of the container it works fine, More details from the flocker node it self:
