Could not create storage device 'bs'

[Parikshit Iyengar]

Hi,

I created an Ubuntu 20.04 image after installing nvidia-470 drivers and miniconda. Now the new image does not mount the Blockstore . I am running the experiment on the Wisconsin cluster (NodeID - c4130-110233) 

This is the error that I see in the node's console logs. 

Checking Testbed local storage configuration ...^M [ 101.570063] testbed[50213]: Checking 'disk0'...^M [ 101.585136] testbed[50213]: disk0: local disk at /dev/sda, exists^M [ 101.601134] testbed[50213]: Checking 'disk1'...^M [ 101.617059] testbed[50213]: disk1: local disk at /dev/sdb, exists^M [ 101.633055] testbed[50213]: Checking 'bs'...^M [ 101.649030] testbed[50213]: Configuring 'bs'...^M [ 101.665070] testbed[50213]: *** bs: no space found^M [ 101.681152] testbed[50213]: *** Could not create storage device 'bs'^M [ 101.697136] testbed[50213]: *** /usr/local/etc/emulab/rc/rc.storage:^M [ 101.721178] testbed[50213]: Could not process storage commands!^M [ 101.737117] testbed[50213]: Failed running rc.storagelocal (65280)! at /usr/local/etc/emulab/libsetup.pm line 1296.^M
This is the experiment that I am running. https://www.cloudlab.us/status.php?uuid=c72424c7-4d8b-11ec-b200-e4434b2381fc#

Another issue that I see is that the ssh connection to the node hangs after a while and disconnects.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, due to the US holiday this week, we didn't get to this before the
experiment expired. One thing I might toss out is that we've seen
nvidia packages require NetworkManager before, and this gets in the way
of our network setup... for instance, see

Thanks,

I'll try disabling the NetworkManager and see if that fixes things. Would this also fix the BlockStorage issue?
