Hi kobig,

Unfortunately no,   my workaround is to expand the disk right after writing
qcow2 image and before booting system so do not have to rely on cloud-init.

HI jinendra
i'm having the same issue,
when using multipath , the OS is not extended over the rest of the disk,
since cc_growpart.py i believe not handling multipath correctly as you
mentioned.

i have a workaround which i do not like,
do you have a code patch to fix it ?

  cloud-init fails to grow disk on physical servers with multipath.

Bug description:
  for provisioning ubuntu trusty on  baremetal, cloud-init fails to grow
root partition,  below is the error.
  physical server is  HP bl460c blade , booting from SAN and using
multipath ,

  ====================================
   - cc_growpart.py[DEBUG]: No 'growpart' entry in cfg.  Using default:
{'ignore_growroot_disabled': False, 'mode': 'auto', 'devices': ['/']}
   - util.py[DEBUG]: Running command ['growpart', '--help'] with allowed
return codes [0] (shell=False, capture=True)
   - util.py[DEBUG]: Reading from /proc/1005/mountinfo (quiet=False)
  - util.py[DEBUG]: Read 1121 bytes from /proc/1005/mountinfo
  - util.py[DEBUG]: resize_devices took 0.003 seconds
   - cc_growpart.py[DEBUG]: '/' SKIPPED:
device_part_info(/dev/disk/by-label/cloudimg-rootfs)
failed: /dev/disk/by-label/cloudimg-rootfs not a partition
  ====================================

  upon checking seems like  cc_growpart.py script is relying on
  "/sys/class/block/device-name/partition" file to check number of
  partitions.

  but for dm multipath devices , there is no such "partition" attribute
  exists, hence script error out saying "not a partition".


  I do not have any solution for now,  but trying to find how to map
multipath device like  /dev/dm-1  to  it's real scsi disk /dev/sda1  .. if
that's figured out then we can put some logic to say if  base name is
dm-x  then find mapped sdx  and use that device to find a partition etc.

  is this just me or someone else also has this issue with cloud-init
  failing on multipath disks.
