Performing verification for Jammy. I started a fresh VM, with 5.15.0-101-generic from updates. I ran the following reproducer:
$ fallocate -l 1G /tmp/blob $ LOOPDEV=$(sudo losetup --find --show /tmp/blob) $ sudo /usr/sbin/parted -s -m -a optimal $LOOPDEV -- unit KiB mklabel gpt mkpart primary 0% 100% Error: Partition(s) 1 on /dev/loop4 have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes. I then enabled -proposed, and installed 5.15.0-102-generic: $ uname -rv 5.15.0-102-generic #112-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 5 16:50:32 UTC 2024 Running the reproducer: $ fallocate -l 1G /tmp/blob $ LOOPDEV=$(sudo losetup --find --show /tmp/blob) $ sudo /usr/sbin/parted -s -m -a optimal $LOOPDEV -- unit KiB mklabel gpt mkpart primary 0% 100% $ losetup -a /dev/loop4: []: (/tmp/blob) $ ll /dev ... brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 4 Mar 19 03:45 loop4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 0 Mar 19 03:45 loop4p1 ... Things are now working as intended. The kernel in -proposed solves the issue. Happy to mark verified for Jammy. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-jammy-linux ** Tags added: sts verification-done-jammy-linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056143 Title: block/loop: No longer allows to create partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2056143/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
