Automatically test behavior on boot medium removal
Originally created by Tails on #5472 (Redmine)
While it’s possible to tell libvirt to forcefully remove both DVD and USB media, it doesn’t result in the signal (or whatever) that our udev watchdog looks for. The media just gets broken with lots of IO errors happening. This prevents implementation of the tests:
- erase memory on shutdown
- After booting from DVD, remove Tails boot medium and check that
the memory erasure process is started (
Loading new kernel, at least). The USB tests are bellow, in the USB installer section.
- After booting from DVD, remove Tails boot medium and check that
the memory erasure process is started (
- USB Installer/Upgrader
- The installed or upgraded Tails medium shall have the "emergency
shutdown on boot medium removal" feature working: remove
Tails boot medium and check that the memory erasure process is
started (
Loading new kernel, at least).
- The installed or upgraded Tails medium shall have the "emergency
shutdown on boot medium removal" feature working: remove
Tails boot medium and check that the memory erasure process is
started (
We need to research if we can fix this, or if it’s an upstream bug.
