2024.2 Series Release Notes¶

7.3.0¶

The format_inspector module has been imported from the projects that were using it. They had effectively maintained in-tree forks of the original code from glance. This code has been imported (from Nova) into oslo.utils under imageutils for common use. A refactoring of how the safety check works was done to facilitate the ability to surface fine-grained information about individual checks, as needed by some projects, as well as a few other generalizing aspects, which are detailed in the following.

A gpt/mbr format inspector was added, which should reduce the number of disk images that are detected as “raw”. This furthers the goal of trying to avoid using “raw” for both “anything we don’t recognize” and “exact image of a physical disk”.

The glance-centric InfoWrapper from the imported code has been replaced with InspectWrapper, which natively runs multiple (default: all) inspector classes in parallel. This is identical to what detect_file_format() did, but in a stream-friendly way, and detect_file_format() now uses this internally. Users of the glance-based code moving to the oslo implemenation should switch to using the InspectWrapper going forward.

Bug #2073894: Added the netutils.get_noscope_ipv6() function in order to fix errors related to IPv6 address formatting that can happen when using an IPv6 defined with scope.
