Interesting, I suspect this is the race we see. The events emitted but no actions taken (ie we didn't get our by-partuuid symlink created. > I somehow wonder if we even need partx call, if we properly flock the device and trigger udev after everything is done. Growpart is modifying the partition table of the root device which is already mounted. We will not be able to flock the root device since it's open and mounted. This is precisely why we need to use the partx call as it updates the kernel partition table mapping without requiring an exclusive lock on the device. > So does growpart create partition? move it? delete/recreate one? i.e does ADD happen? or like REMOVE & ADD? or maybe it's like just MOVE or CHANGE? Do we have logs of the emitted events already? growpart on gpt, uses sgdisk which, deletes and then recreates the existing partition but with a larger size. The logs are above, see comment #22 -> #24 and #38. > Don't like flags, as then we'll have to supported forever =) maybe env variable? or like simply change in focal and compare focal vs eoan? This may not matter if we can't flock. I suspect we'll need to use the ugly re-trigger events for the disk. growpart could take the disk it's pointed at, examine the existing udevadm symlinks associated with this (via udevadm info --export), perform it's operation, and then post- operation, trigger the add event on the disk, settle, and confirm that udevadm info --export contains the same set of links (partuuid ,etc). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-azure in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834875 Title: cloud-init growpart race with udev Status in cloud-init: Incomplete Status in cloud-utils: New Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On Azure, it happens regularly (20-30%), that cloud-init's growpart module fails to extend the partition to full size.
