2019-03-22vm: 'system-docker-image' calls 'sync' before rebooting....Previously we could end up silently building truncated tarballs. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-docker-image)[build]: Add call to 'sync'. Ludovic Courtès
2019-03-17vm: 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm' leads to a kernel panic upon failure....Partially fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/34276>. Reported by Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me@tobias.gr>. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm)[loader]: Call 'exit' when USER-BUILDER exits with a non-zero code. Ludovic Courtès

Ludovic Courtès
2019-02-11pack, vm: Fix incorrect use of 'package-transitive-propagated-inputs'....In practice the error was not triggered because 'package-transitive-propagated-inputs' currently returns the empty list for these two packages. * guix/scripts/pack.scm (gcrypt-sqlite3&co): Remove labels from the result. * gnu/system/vm.scm (gcrypt-sqlite3&co): Likewise. Ludovic Courtès
2019-01-22vm: Remove unnecessary import....* gnu/system/vm.scm: Remove unnecessary (guix scripts pack) import. Ludovic Courtès
2018-11-21linux-initrd: 'expression->initrd' returns the complete file name....Previously 'expression->initrd' would return the directory that contains the 'initrd' file; now it returns the complete file name for that file. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd)[builder]: Change output file name to "initrd.cpio.gz". Tail-call 'file-append' to return the complete file name. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-initrd-file): Remove 'file-append' call. * gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm (write-cpio-archive): Check whether OUTPUT already has the ".gz" suffix; rename if before invoking GZIP if it does, and otherwise after. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm)[builder]: Do not append "/initrd" to #$initrd.

Ludovic Courtès
2018-11-18linux-initrd: Return file-like objects instead of monadic values....This is an incompatible change visible to users via the 'initrd' field of 'operating-system'. However, assuming the user's 'initrd' value tail-calls to 'raw-initrd' or 'base-initrd', the switch to non-monadic style is invisible. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Use 'computed-file' instead of 'gexp->derivation'. (raw-initrd, base-initrd): Adjust docstring to mention non-monadic return. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Adjust accordingly. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-directory-base-entries) (operating-system-initrd-file) (operating-system-boot-parameters): Adjust accordingly. * doc/guix.texi (operating-system Reference) (Initial RAM Disk): Update.

Adjust call to 'operating-system-kernel-arguments'. Ludovic Courtès
2018-09-23vm: Use "cache=loose" for all 9p mounts....This significantly improves read throughput when running things like "guix hash -r ...". * gnu/system/vm.scm (%linux-vm-file-systems): Add 'flags' for "store". Add "cache=loose" to every file system. Ludovic Courtès
2018-09-23vm: Disable deduplication for 'guix system vm-image'....* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Pass #:deduplicate? #f to 'root-partition-initializer'. Ludovic Courtès

[build]: Wrap in 'with-extensions'. Adjust imported module list to use 'make-config.scm' for (guix config). Ludovic Courtès
2018-06-14vm: 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm' code can now use dlopen....* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm) [user-builder]: Define in non-monadic style as 'program-file'. [loader]: Likewise, and 'execl' USER-BUILDER instead of loading it. (system-docker-image): Pass BUILD as the second argument to 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm'. (make-iso9660-image, qemu-image): Remove call to 'reboot'. Ludovic Courtès
2018-06-14store-copy: 'read-reference-graph' returns a list of records....The previous implementation of 'read-reference-graph' was good enough for many use cases, but it discarded the graph structure, which is useful information in some cases. * guix/build/store-copy.scm (<store-info>): New record type. (read-reference-graph): Rewrite to return a list of <store-info>. (closure-size, populate-store): Adjust accordingly. * gnu/services/base.scm (references-file): Adjust accordingly. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-docker-image): Likewise. * guix/scripts/pack.scm (squashfs-image, docker-image): Likewise. * tests/gexp.scm ("gexp->derivation #:references-graphs"): Likewise. Ludovic Courtès

("operating-system-boot-mapped-devices, implicit dependency"): Likewise. Ludovic Courtès
2018-05-28file-systems: Remove 'title' field and add <file-system-label>....The 'title' field was easily overlooked and was an endless source of confusion.

2018-03-03linux-initrd: Add virtio modules to '%base-initrd-modules'....Fixes a regression in installation tests, whereby 'guix system init' would report that virtio modules are missing for the target devices. In practice virtio modules were always available since 'base-initrd' was always called with #:virtio? #t. This commit simply moves them to '%base-initrd-modules' so that 'guix system' knows they're available. Reported by Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org> at <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=30629#112>. * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (default-initrd-modules): Add virtio modules.

Ludovic Courtès
2018-03-03vm: Add missing modules to the 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm' initrd....Fixes a regression introduced in bc499b113a598c0e7863da9887a4133472985713, whereby the default initrd used by 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm' would lack all the usual modules: virtio, nls_iso8859-1, etc. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Pass #:linux-modules to 'base-initrd'. Ludovic Courtès
2018-01-19gnu: Consistently Write ‘file system(s)’....It is the GNU way. * doc/guix.texi (Build Systems, DNS Services): Write ‘file system(s)’. * gnu/build/vm.scm (create-ext-file-system, create-fat-file-system): Likewise. * gnu/packages/backup.scm (dirvish, rsnapshot)[description]: Likewise. * gnu/packages/check.scm (python-testpath)[description]: Likewise. * gnu/packages/disk.scm (pydf)[description]: Likewise. * gnu/packages/file-systems.scm (disorderfs)[synopsis, description]: Likewise.

2018-01-07vm: 'vm-image' images refer to the root file system by UUID....This avoids the hard-coded "/dev/sda1", which only made sense when the image is run with "qemu-system-x86_64 -hda", not when it's passed to Xen, etc. Reported by Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image): Define 'root-uuid', use it as the 'device' field for "/", and pass it to 'qemu-image'. Ludovic Courtès
2017-12-18vm: Pass the host's /dev/urandom to the guest at /dev/hwrng....* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Use QEMU's virtio-rng-pci. * gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Likewise. Leo Famulari
2017-12-17gnu: system: vm: Use loose cache for 9p file system....This improves the performance of the shared store for operations involving lots of files, e.g. searching through the store. * gnu/system/vm.scm (mapping->file-system): Add cache=loose to options. Christopher Baines
2017-12-15bootloader: Factorize write-file-on-device....* gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (install-extlinux): Factorize bootloader writing in a new procedure write-file-on-device defined in (gnu build bootloader). * gnu/build/bootloader.scm: New file. * gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add new file. * gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-img): Adapt to import and use (gnu build bootloader) module during derivation building. * gnu/scripts/system.scm (bootloader-installer-derivation): Ditto. Mathieu Othacehe
2017-12-15vm: Adapt qemu command to ARM....* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): New argument #:target-arm32. Use it to adapt command for qemu-system-arm. This implies to choose a machine ("virt"), use the correct console port "ttyAMA0", disable KVM use that is buggy on some ARM boards (Odroid XU4 for example) and use user mode network stack instead of NIC. Gather all those options in a new variable "arch-specific-flags". * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Pass to load-in-linux-vm "#:target-arm32?" argument. Mathieu Othacehe
2017-12-04bootloader: extlinux: Stop using dd binary....* gnu/bootloader/extlinux.scm (dd): Remove it, (install-extlinux): replace dd call by Guile I/O procedures. * gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Add (ice-9 binary-ports) to used-modules list to provide "get-bytevector-n" and "put-bytevector". * guix/scripts/system.scm (bootloader-installer-derivation): Ditto. Mathieu Othacehe
2017-12-02system: vm: Fix typo in comment....* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Fix typo targetting -> targeting. Mathieu Othacehe
2017-12-01system: vm: Do not add EFI partition on ARM system....* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-img): Do not add EFI partition if we are targetting ARM. UEFI support on u-boot is still experimental, so do not add EFI partition on ARM for now. Mathieu Othacehe
2017-11-30vm: Filter out file systems that refer to UUIDs or labels....* gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system)[user-file-systems]: Filter out things that refer to file system UUIDs or labels. Ludovic Courtès
2017-11-26vm: Use os-defined initrd intead of base-initrd....* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image, system-qemu-image, virtualized-operating-system): Replace base-initrd by (operating-system-initrd os). The system produced were always using base-initrd even if the user had defined a custom initrd based on raw-initrd in the os declaration. Mathieu Othacehe
2017-11-06system: vm: Use 2^32 - 1 as hash size....* gnu/system/vm.scm (operating-system-uuid): Use 2^32 - 1 instead of 2^32 as hash size. On some 32 bit system (ARM for example), 2^32 exceeds hash max size (ULONG_MAX = 2^32 - 1). Mathieu Othacehe
2017-10-19vm: Always use GRUB/i386....Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/28768>. Reported by Oleg Pykhalov <go.wigust@gmail.com>. * gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system): Override the 'bootloader' field. Ludovic Courtès
2017-10-04vm: Add disk-image-size to <virtual-machine>....* gnu/system/vm.scm (<virtual-machine>): Add disk-image-size. (port-forwardings->qemu-options): Use disk-image-size from <virtual-machine>. Christopher Baines
2017-10-04vm: Add a minimum root size....* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): When guessing the root-size, use a lower bound of 20 MiB, otherwise the root file system size is sometimes 0 MiB in size. Christopher Baines
2017-09-11vm: Generate a UUID to identify the root file system....This makes collisions less likely than when using a label to look up the partition. See <https://bugs.gnu.org/27735>. * gnu/system/vm.scm (operating-system-uuid): New procedure. (system-disk-image): Define 'root-uuid' and use it for the root file system. Pass it to 'iso9660-image' and 'qemu-image'. Ludovic Courtès
2017-09-11vm: Allow users to specify a UUID for the root partition....* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Add #:file-system-uuid parameter; pass it as the 'uuid' field of the root partition. Ludovic Courtès
2017-09-11system: Introduce a disjoint UUID type....Conceptually a UUID is just a bytevector. However, there's software out there such as GRUB that relies on the string representation of different UUID types (e.g., the string representation of DCE UUIDs differs from that of ISO-9660 UUIDs, even if they are actually bytevectors of the same length). This new <uuid> record type allows us to preserve information about the type of UUID so we can eventually convert it to a string using the right representation. * gnu/system/uuid.scm (<uuid>): New record type. (bytevector->uuid): New procedure. (uuid): Return calls to 'make-uuid'. (uuid->string): Rewrite using 'match-lambda*' to accept a single 'uuid?' argument. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-root-search): Check for 'uuid?' instead of 'bytevector?'. * gnu/system.scm (bootable-kernel-arguments): Check whether ROOT-DEVICE is 'uuid?'. (read-boot-parameters): Use 'bytevector->uuid' when the store device is a bytevector. (read-boot-parameters-file): Check for 'uuid?' instead of 'bytevector?'. (device->sexp): New procedure. (operating-system-boot-parameters-file): Use it for 'root-device' and 'store'. (operating-system-bootcfg): Remove conditional in definition of 'root-device'. * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (file-system->spec): Check for 'uuid?' on DEVICE and take its bytevector. * gnu/system/mapped-devices.scm (open-luks-device): Likewise. * gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Call 'uuid-bytevector' for the #:volume-uuid argument.
