Hi Team,

Any solution for the issue that I pointed here ? I tried below change as well

1) Changed the source code “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lava_dispatcher/deployment_data.py”  with “/var/lava-%s “ custom path

debian = {

    "TESTER_PS1": r"linaro-test [rc=$(echo \$?)]# ",

    "TESTER_PS1_PATTERN": r"linaro-test \[rc=(\d+)\]# ",

    "TESTER_PS1_INCLUDES_RC": True,

    "boot_cmds": "boot_cmds",

    "line_separator": "\n",

    # for lava-test-shell

    "distro": "debian",

    "tar_flags": "--warning no-timestamp",

    "lava_test_sh_cmd": "/bin/bash",

    "lava_test_dir": "/var/lava-%s",

    "lava_test_results_part_attr": "root_part",

    "lava_test_results_dir": "/var/lava-%s",

    "lava_test_shell_file": "~/.bashrc",

}


Status of the change : The overlay unpack is not happening in the specific directory that we applied to  lava_test_dir  and  lava_test_results_dir.

I would appreciate it if you could send the solution of the issue that I raised here.

Subject: Not able to unpack the overlay other than "/" directory

Hi Team,

Facing an issue while unpack the overlay in some custom location other than “/” directory. From the LAVA linaro documentation I came to know that the -C / command to tar is essential or the test shell will not be able to start. Below are the issues that I am facing because of this.

• My / directory  is a read only one and I want it in some /etc or /var.
• The LAVA job is getting stuck while doing the unpack  with the command below in job definition.

transfer_overlay:

      download_command: cd /tmp; wget

      unpack_command: tar -C /tmp -xzf

Below I am attaching the test log from LAVA.

How we can solve the read only filesystem image issue for unpacking the overlay other than “/” directory ?
