Bah, OK. Red herring. :-( Do you have the syslog as well as the partman log? I'm not seeing a lot of useful information from partman alone. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com "We're the technical experts.

This is a brand new machine, >sda is hw raid1 on 2x128G M.2 SATA modules. (Same thing happened on >another identical system so this is apparently reproducible.) Hmmm, odd. Something is picking up on those M2 modules multiple times, it seems. You sure they're SATA? $ grep /dev/nvme partman.log /lib/partman/init.d/30parted: IN: OPEN =dev=nvme0n1 /dev/nvme0n1 /lib/partman/init.d/30parted: IN: OPEN =dev=nvme1n1 /dev/nvme1n1 /lib/partman/init.d/30parted: IN: OPEN =dev=nvme2n1 /dev/nvme2n1 /lib/partman/init.d/30parted: IN: OPEN =dev=nvme3n1 /dev/nvme3n1 /lib/partman/init.d/30parted: IN: OPEN =dev=nvme4n1 /dev/nvme4n1 /lib/partman/init.d/30parted: IN: OPEN =dev=nvme5n1 /dev/nvme5n1 Path: /dev/nvme0n1 Path: /dev/nvme1n1 Path: /dev/nvme2n1 Path: /dev/nvme3n1 Path: /dev/nvme4n1 Path: /dev/nvme5n1 I don't know if that's the cause of the problem, but it looks suspect to me. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com "Since phone messaging became popular, the young generation has lost the ability to read or write anything that is longer than one hundred and sixty characters." -- Ignatios Souvatzis
