This patch removes the check and default for rhel 8 requiring xfs filesystem as rhel 8 images can successfully be built with ext4 filesystems. Change-Id: I1a6bfa26324fd43ae0c77c2c977dda0dd56e26e5
rhel
Use RHEL cloud images as the baseline for built disk images.
Because RHEL base images are not publicly available, it is necessary
to first download the RHEL cloud image from the Red Hat Customer Portal
and pass the path to the resulting file to disk-image-create as the
DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE environment variable.
The cloud image can be found at (login required): RHEL8: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/479/ver=/rhel---8/8.0/x86_64/product-software RHEL7: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.1/x86_64/product-downloads
Then before running the image build, define DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE (replace the file name with the one downloaded, if it differs from the example):
export DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE=rhel-8.0-x86_64-kvm.qcow2The downloaded file will then be used as the basis for any subsequent image builds.
For further details about building RHEL images, see the rhel-common and redhat-common element README files.
