Bug fixes:
- Enabled
CONFIG_MEMCG_V1
to mitigate cgroupsv1 removal (e.g JVM) (Flatcar#1884) - Fixed the QEMU launcher script to include HVF acceleration on arm64-based Macs for faster performance (Flatcar#1901)
Changes:
- Increased all partition sizes:
/boot
to 1 GB, the two/usr
partitions to 2 GB,/oem
to 1 GB so that we can use more space in a few years when we can assume that most nodes run the new partition layout - existing nodes can still update for the next years (scripts#3027) - Reduced the kernel+initrd size on
/boot
by half. Flatcar now uses a minimal first stage initrd just to access the/usr
partition and then switches to the full initrd that does the full system preparation as before. Since this means that the set of kernel modules available in the first initrd is reduced, please report any impact. - Scaleway: SSH keys are now fetched via Afterburn (scripts#3277)
- Scaleway: The hostname is now set via Afterburn (scripts#3277)
