Add Xfs package to Bottlerocket #3198

yeazelm · 2023-06-13T22:53:29Z

Issue number: 3036

Description of changes:
This adds xfsprogs and it's dependencies to Bottlerocket. There is more work to properly make the variant boundary work but I have a rough set of changes to force the data partition into xfs.

Note: We may hold back the aws-dev variant until we feel we are ready but for the time being, it simply makes the tools available, the data partition still remains ext4 for the time being.

Testing done:
I build my own variant with xfs hard coded into the data partition. It boots, resizes, and you can see xfs data with xfs_* tools:

I added this for if we need to do conditional specfile things. I didn't end up adding xfsprogs conditionally to the image based upon this but we could if we want. If we don't see the need for this I can remove it as well.

Should it be something more generic? Like DATA_PARTITION_FORMAT=<the-format>? Wouldn't OOTB benefit from this? Say I'm a weird developer that wants to use btrfs for my data partition in my OOT variant.

I didn't end up adding xfsprogs conditionally to the image based upon this but we could if we want.

It's fine to add the bcond support here even if we aren't using it, just for consistency. I did the same in #3097.

I'm having a hard time replying to the other threads about @arnaldo2792's comment:

I did look at trying to make it work this way and discovered what @bcressey called out in his comment about image-layout. Since image-features are booleans these lend themselves as something like XFS_DATA_PARTITION vs DATA_PARTITION_FILESYSTEM or similar. As @bcressey mentioned, we probably would need to shift to using either image-layout (which I feel is a little awkward) or adding in yet another data structure for this. I actually like the idea of leaving the door open for other filesystems in the future but also feel like it might be over-indexing on something we have no concrete plans to do. I can shift to that approach if we think it's useful for OOTB work ensuring we have this flexibility in the future. Ultimately though, my opinion is that there is a lot of other work involved in adding something like btrfs and adding in another filesystem would be the right time to solve this more expansively but I could be overruled if that doesn't align with other features.

Same as elsewhere, is there a flag you can use to disable compiling static libraries?

I didn't see a specific flag for it for xfsprogs. Nonetheless, is the approach Fedora takes.

Instead of an environment variable, what if prepare-local-fs.service becomes an in file, and in the ExecStart directive you use DATA_PARTITION_FILESYSTEM to replace it with sed?

See @bcressey's comment below but I think I'll convert to his approach where its an image-features.env and make this a bit more generic for any other features. This allows them to be a bit more consistent. I think I like the EnvironmentFile approach a bit more. Is there a reason you would prefer the in file and sed?

I can't seem to respond to @arnaldo2792 's question in the normal way:

Should it be something more generic? Like DATA_PARTITION_FORMAT=? Wouldn't OOTB benefit from this? Say I'm a weird developer that wants to use btrfs for my data partition in my OOT variant.

If we really want to do this, we can make data-image-filesystem a field in the image-layout struct (instead of a feature flag), and default it to "ext4".
