Is there a plan to update to JDK 21?

I also expected JDK 21 with this release… Because of what was previously communicated.

@Wallman & @gipeshka

Sorry for missing that before. The edge images now contains and defaults to java 21.0.2.

I expect we’ll promote this to current next week.

Feel free to give it a test and let me know if it doesn’t work as you expect.

Would you include psql or usql ?

I would recommend posting the suggestion to our ideas tracker Images | CircleCI Ideas

There seems to be a problem mounting CIFS file shares on this image. I’ve tried doing the following

      - run:
          name: "Install cifs-utils"
          command: |
            sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y cifs-utils
      - run:
          name: "Mount file share"
          command: |
            sudo mkdir /mnt/share
            SMB_PATH="//$FILESHARE_STORAGEACCOUNT_NAME.file.core.windows.net/$FILESHARE_NAME"    
            sudo mount -t cifs $SMB_PATH /mnt/share -o username=$FILESHARE_STORAGEACCOUNT_NAME,password=$FILESHARE_STORAGEACCOUNT_KEY,serverino,nosharesock,actimeo=30

It gives the error

^@^@mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device

The images prior to 2024.04.4 seem to work fine. It’s just this latest image that seems to have this problem.

Thanks for reporting this.

I did some digging into this and found that it was most likely caused by this kernel bug: Bug #2060780 “CIFS stopped working/is unstable with kernel updat...” : Bugs : linux package : Ubuntu

I just rebuilt the linux images with the new kernel and they are now available under the edge tag.

Would you be able to try the edge image and confirm it’s working as expected for you now?

@josh.bryans Thanks for the response. I’ve tried it and I can confirm that the edge image behaves as expected. Thanks for looking into this.
