Subject: Update on Known Issues

All,

Here are a list of known issues we are still working through.

Windows jobs - There was a Windows qcow2 image built in a Jenkins job in 2023 that was served from the LRC.  I didn’t think anything was still being used from that service so did not bother to mirror it.  I am working on rebuilding that Windows image to serve again so Windows PR jobs can run.

Ceph API - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘distutils’ - Fix merged https://github.com/ceph/teuthology/pull/2116.  Rebase.

CentOS 9 Builds - error: Failed build dependencies: - We think maybe something in this PR? https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/66229.  Maybe builds will pass once https://github.com/ceph/ceph-build/pull/2497 is merged.

Reef builds - Reef was not prepared for all Noble builders.  There are a number of fixes that need to be back ported to support reef make check​ on the new builders.  Working on it but lower priority.

"Status code: 503 for http://apt-mirror.front.sepia.ceph.com/lab-extras/10/repodata/repomd.xml” - Pull in https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/66656 or one of its backports.

Teuthology CentOS 9 jobs - We continue to struggle with the right way to handle booting into a newly installed kernel using BLS.  I have a method working that requires two reboots so I’m trying to work around that.  UEFI work is being done here https://github.com/ceph/teuthology/pull/2117

We still have a few fixes needed to work reliably with MaaS - https://github.com/ceph/teuthology/pull/2105

In more positive news:

We are furiously working our way through these issues.
