@Lee Thanks for tracking down the util-linux bug. Since this is broken in 2.34 (eoan/focal); I'm thinking we should use sysfs to find the parent via device name walking;
Given a kname (nvme0n1p1) of the target partition # look up sysfs path from kname % realpath /sys/class/block/nvme0n1p1 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:05:00.0/nvme/nvme0/nvme0n1/nvme0n1p1 # check if it's a partition % ls -al /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:05:00.0/nvme/nvme0/nvme0n1/nvme0n1p1/partition -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 12 08:08 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:05:00.0/nvme/nvme0/nvme0n1/nvme0n1p1/partition # extract parent device path % dirname /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:05:00.0/nvme/nvme0/nvme0n1/nvme0n1p1 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:05:00.0/nvme/nvme0/nvme0n1 # extract parent device major/minor % cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:05:00.0/nvme/nvme0/nvme0n1/dev 259:0 # udev symlinks/dev/block/$MAJOR:$MINOR % ls -al /dev/block/259:0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 18 00:16 /dev/block/259:0 -> ../nvme0n1 % realpath /dev/block/259:0 /dev/nvme0n1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1862846 Title: Crash and failure installing focal Status in subiquity: New Status in curtin package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in curtin source package in Eoan: Invalid Status in util-linux source package in Eoan: New Status in curtin source package in Focal: Triaged Status in util-linux source package in Focal: New Bug description: During an install of the daily live image for 20.04 Ubuntu Server, the installer first crashed and restarted itself, then failed to install the system.
