I have just run into this same problem on both 18.04 Server and 19.04 Server Beta. After finding this bug report, I unplugged the drive array full of ZFS disks and the local write cache disk only to still run into the issue due to my nvme used for read cache. -- You received this bug

So it looks like it is getting stuck running this command: 31197 root 26996 Sdmsetup create -r osprober-linux-sdb1 It also looks like in the cases where it does not hang, there is a message about not recognizing what filesystem is in /dev/sdb1 and it can't be mounted, but in the one

Ok, new experiment. I'm including the steps here and in an attached README along with outputs captured at various points in the process in a tar.gz file. I've moved drives around throughout this debugging process, but for this experiment they were; /dev/sda - 80GB spinner (os install drive)

Strange, yes, a USB stick should not cause it to hang. I'm still not seeing the output of os-prober with the set -x option working. Also you were able to manually run it with this zfs usb stick plugged in and it did not hang right? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member

Problem solved. There was a USB stick plugged directly in to the motherboard which I had forgotten about since changing this box over from a freeNAS install. Once that was removed, the install completed with no hangup. I'll include the output from the point where it was hung. Both from ps, and

If it isn't os-prober that hung, then I'll have to look up the next step the installer takes. Or you might see some other program in ps that is hung and the installer is waiting on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Ok, I understand now what your previous question meant. Yes, I believe the os-prober completed normally (returned to the command prompt) with the output as in the previously attached os-prober.log. I ran it with 2>&1, so both stdout and stderr would be included in that file, and I didn't notice

The interesting information I'm trying to get is exactly where os-prober froze, so if it finishes correctly then that information isn't going to help. I think at that point in the installer if you look, you will see the hard disk mounted under /target, and it has its own copy of os- prober, so

Sorry, this is my first time trying to debug os-level installer. I don't know how to switch the install from auto to manual, then back to auto. I ran the auto install through to the point where it was waiting for me to confirm the grub install on the master boot record, where I would normally say

Hrm.. if the second line shows "set -ex" then running os-prober should produce a lot of debug output showing every line of the script that is executed. Oh, try running it yourself instead of letting the installer do it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

Yes, its reproducible. Dell PowerEdge T110 (circa ~2009). I can give more details if it would be helpful. I found a /bin/os-prober (no /usr/bin/os-prober), and added the x option. Resulting syslog is the same as before, no additional information. Is there another file I should be looking in? --
