Public bug reported: When growpart attempts to determine the partition to resize, it uses this logic:
$ sed -n '266,275p' $(which growpart) dpart="${DISK}${PART}" # disk and partition number if [ -b "${DISK}p${PART}" -a "${DISK%[0-9]}" != "${DISK}" ]; then # for block devices that end in a number (/dev/nbd0) # the partition is "<name>p<partition_number>" (/dev/nbd0p1) dpart="${DISK}p${PART}" elif [ "${DISK#/dev/loop[0-9]}" != "${DISK}" ]; then # for /dev/loop devices, sfdisk output will be <name>p<number> # format also, even though there is not a device there. dpart="${DISK}p${PART}" fi If the disk is an image, and the image filename ends with a number, the partition will be "${DISK}p${PART}"; however, "${DISK}p${PART}" will not be a block device. Thus, the partition is improperly identified as just "${DISK}${PART}". This gives us a failure like: + growpart -v -v -v disk-uefi.ext4 1 update-partition set to true resizing 1 on disk-uefi.ext4 using resize_sfdisk_gpt running[sfd_list][erronly] sfdisk --list --unit=S disk-uefi.ext4 6291456 sectors of 512. total size=3221225472 bytes running[sfd_dump][erronly] sfdisk --unit=S --dump disk-uefi.ext4 ## sfdisk --unit=S --dump disk-uefi.ext4 label: gpt label-id: A9F73A73-50FD-4335-9082-1249985F154D device: disk-uefi.ext4 unit: sectors first-lba: 34 last-lba: 6291422 disk-uefi.ext4p1 : start= 227328, size= 4384735, type=0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4, uuid=C1191CD2-0753-4A53-8CD4-E6079735CA42 disk-uefi.ext4p14 : start= 2048, size= 8192, type=21686148-6449-6E6F-744E-656564454649, uuid=3A2AD377-EB6D-4689-9126-35148C003A95 disk-uefi.ext4p15 : start= 10240, size= 217088, type=C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B, uuid=98C675C8-4FF6-425C-B783-E77FDE70C967 FAILED: failed to get start and end for disk-uefi.ext41 in disk-uefi.ext4 ** Affects: cloud-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835124 Title: growpart mishandles image filenames that end in a number To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-utils/+bug/1835124/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
