I'm glad to hear you are seeing an improvement! The current
implementation is still racy as mentioned in Comment #22. I did a search
of the logs I downloaded, and I believe this one shows that the

While the above MP is now merged, I still see additional potential races
in the code. For example, anything calling mount_partition() for the
first partition, and also maybe bug 2030771. I don't see a good way to

I was bothered by the fact that we only sometimes see the double

It turns out that udev doesn't rescan partitions just because a new

It's not udev that creates nodes like /dev/loop1p1 though is it? That's
devtmpfs surely.

my expectation is that udev should be running (somewhere, not sure if it
needs to be both the host and the lxd guest) and that it should process
the device using locks https://systemd.io/BLOCK_DEVICE_LOCKING/.
After that is done, the device should be safe to operate on, in a
consistent manner.
