Hi all,
I am using barebox 2017.03.0 and my bootchooser variables are:
bootchooser.last_chosen: 2
bootchooser.retry: true
bootchooser.system1.boot: system1
bootchooser.system1.default_attempts: 99
bootchooser.system1.default_priority: 16
bootchooser.system1.priority: 20
bootchooser.system1.remaining_attempts: 5
bootchooser.system2.boot: system2
bootchooser.system2.default_attempts: 9
bootchooser.system2.default_priority: 15
bootchooser.system2.priority: 10
bootchooser.system2.remaining_attempts: 3
bootchooser.targets: system1 system2
And "global.bootchooser.reset_attempts" is empty. I assume counters
will never be reset as written in [1].
So, here is the case that I think it has a problem. system1 has a
problem that does not boot. Bootchooser tries system1 and fails a few
times and then chooses system2. After successful boot of system2,
"bootchooser.system1.remaining_attempts" is still 5. Every boot
sequence bootchooser tries system1 and fails and then system2 is
chosen. If I understand correctly from the documentation, it should be
0 and disabled and will never try at all. Right?
Secondly, There is a bug: if bootchooser.system1.remaining_attempts is
big enough like 10, bootchooser tries to boot system1 as usual and
fails as usual again but it could not boot system2. I am sending the
log below, as a summary "could not open /boot/barebox.env: error 24":
