Hey all,

I've gotten a couple requests in the past 24 hours asking how to "lock"
the new dev machines https://wiki.sepia.ceph.com/doku.php?id=hardware:vossi

These systems aren't in paddles so `teuthology-lock` isn't going to work
here.  Is that something you all want?

My understanding is, historically, the rex and senta have been shared
machines where there is a chance devs can step on each others' toes.  I
get the desire to have exclusive use of a machine but I don't want to
have to be the one to police machine-hogging.

Yeah I don’t think we want to lock them. Is there a specific reason people are asking?

If we want to do stuff that involves changing the machine state for more than adding new package dependencies, we should be working in containers or VMs...
