I'm able to replicate this behaviour with the following in QEMU: swapoff /dev/vda5 udevadm trigger --action=remove --sysname-match=vda5 udevadm trigger --action=add --sysname-match=vda5 This makes dev-vda5.device go down and back up, and thus looks like it got hotplugged, and then the fstab entry for /dev/vda5 gets triggered which auto-enables the swap partition again.

I'm still unable to synthetically trigger an event that apparently happens after swapoff and before mkswap that would trigger dev- sda3.device/dev-sda3.swap like that. I tried reading and writing /dev/sda3 and even udevadm trigger'ing it. Dave shut down his machine to try something (removing /scripts/casper- bottom/13swap to avoid this existing swap partition to go into the live system's /etc/fstab in the first place), which might be a good enough workaround for the release. Some notes: * My experiments above have never touched/changed dev-sda3.device, only the data on that partition. "dev-sda3.device: Changed dead -> plugged" sounds like the entire partition got removed and re-added, which I didn't try yet. * If we don't understand/cannot fix the real issue in time, then changing /scripts/casper-bottom/13swap to merely swapon existing swap partitions (or leave them alone completely) instead of writing them to the life system's /etc/fstab might be good enough at this point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1552539 Title: Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1552539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1552539] Re: Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space
I managed to grab a journal with debugging enabled. This shows that a change event for sda3 gets picked up which reactivates the dev-sda3.swap unit and then calls swapon: Apr 20 13:11:21 ubuntu systemd[1]: dev-sda3.device: Changed dead -> plugged Apr 20 13:11:21 ubuntu systemd[1]: dev-sda3.swap: Trying to enqueue job dev-sda3.swap/start/fail Apr 20 13:11:21 ubuntu systemd[1]: dev-sda3.swap: Installed new job dev-sda3.swap/start as 2745 Apr 20 13:11:21 ubuntu systemd[1]: dev-sda3.swap: Enqueued job dev-sda3.swap/start as 2745 Apr 20 13:11:21 ubuntu systemd[1]: dev-sda3.swap: About to execute: /sbin/swapon /dev/sda3 That swapon actually fails in this log because it's busy, but it eventually succeeds. So this answers *what* is calling swapon. It does not yet answer what exactly happens in between the swapoff and mkswap calls, as doing just those from a shell don't trigger this behaviour. I suppose some uevent is generated in between which triggers the re-activation. ** Attachment added: "debug journal while this happens" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1552539/+attachment/4640717/+files/journal.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1552539 Title: Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1552539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1552539] Re: Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space
Another observation from the strace: when mkswap runs, /dev/sda3 is
already enabled again:
21626 open("/proc/swaps", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4
21626 read(4, "Filename\t\t\t\tType\t\tSize\tUsed\tPriority\n/dev/sda3
partition\t8251388\t0\t-1\n", 1024)
= 100
[...]
21626 open("/dev/sda3", O_RDONLY|O_EXCL|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBUSY (Device or
resource busy)
There is a "dd if=/dev/sda3 of=991754715136-1000204140543/old_uuid"
running which has the device open (pid 21620), but it finishes well
before mkswap starts. I don't see anything else accessing /dev/sda3 in
the straces in between, so something from outside interferes here
(triggered by udev or similar).

[Bug 1552539] Re: Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space
So according to the traces, these are the commands that ubiquity calls:
swapoff /dev/sda3
grep "^/dev/sda3 " /proc/swaps
log-output -t partman --pass-stdout mkswap /dev/sda3
and the latter fails with
open("/dev/sda3", O_RDONLY|O_EXCL|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EBUSY (Device or
resource busy
I tried to reproduce this with just
swapoff /dev/sda3; grep "^/dev/sda3 " /proc/swaps; sleep 0.5; mkswap
/dev/sda3; swapon /dev/sda3
for varying values in the sleep (or no sleep at all), so far not
successfully yet. I also don't believe that this is generally broken as
it is quite hard to reproduce. Slower machines/hard disks do seem to
help, though.
Another theory is that something else has the swap device open; ubiquity
(or some called programs) open it quite a lot, things like blkid; but
mkswap works fine while the device is opened read-only (tail -f
/dev/sda3) or even write-only (dd of=/dev/sda3) and I also let blkid
race against mkswap:
while blkid -p /dev/sda3; do true; done # in one shell
while mkswap /dev/sda3; do true; done # in another
on Dave's machine, and all of these work.
I also put systemd into debug mode (systemd-analyze set-log-level debug)
and watched journalctl -f to verify that there is no automatic
activation of the new swap partition after mkswap. It just tracks
swapoff and swapon via the uevents.
Thus so far I'm none the wiser yet.

[Bug 1552539] Re: Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space
Dave has a way to reproduce this in a loop on his system. I logged in through ssh and attached strace -fvvs1024 to all the running processes with "ubiquity" or "partman" in the name. Attaching the raw data, I'll stare at it in a bit.

I don't see any commands logged in the partman log, hence I was trying strace.

[Bug 1552539] Re: Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space
This happens on any automatic selection (I've not tried side-by-side) Only way I have found around it is to manually partition the system then it honour the unmounting of the swap partition to format it. Reproducible on Macbook pro 2011 and Lenovo ideapad however not happening in kvm I assume the wipe triggers faster on it is vm maybe. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1552539 Title: Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1552539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This could be new so it's best to keep them separate and then the developers can pass them both if they are the same this is just the one that apport reports to as the wording is identical.

It looks like systemd is reactivating the swap partition before it can be reformatted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1552539 Title: Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1552539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
