I'll try to post more details soon. There are two problems here, both caused by apparently-intentional upstream changes: 1) parted 3.2 now automatically creates a partition when you create a loop label. Various bits of partman expect there to be free space after creating a loop label, and fail or misbehave when this isn't the case. 2) parted 3.2 no longer probes LVM logical volumes, or indeed any device-mapper devices other than dmraid whole disks. As a result, those devices never show up in partman at all. 2) is a distinctly unhelpful change at least in the context of d-i, although I guess it might be helpful elsewhere (parted -l tends to be pretty noisy if you have device-mapper devices present). For now I'm reverting it since it's a one-line change to undo just this bit. However, 1) is trickier. Reverting that change to parted results in different breakage, and it looks like I would have to do some quite complicated disentangling to revert it successfully. I'm not convinced this would result in something more stable. On the other hand, the end result is actually more convenient for d-i because it needs to do less work, so I'm minded to leave it in place and adjust the calling code instead. I've successfully tested changes to partman-auto-lvm and partman-lvm; as indicated by the control commands above there are a few other things to change too. Given this particular bug was also present in 3.2-1 (even if masked by the alignment issue), I'm versioning it as found in 3.2-1, so that 3.2-2 has a chance to migrate when it's old enough. If that doesn't sound like a good idea, please adjust version [and explain why ;)]. That sounds quite sensible, yes. Apologies for the inconvenience casued by all this; I clearly didn't test the new upstream version of parted well enough. I will sort all this out as quickly as I can. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#757417: libparted2-udeb: breaks auto-lvm in d-i
Package: libparted2-udeb Version: 3.2-1 Severity: serious Justification: what subject says [X-D-Cc: -boot@, please keep it in the loop.] Hi, 3.2-1 had this alignment bug that prevented at least two scenarios in guided mode (with a blank disc) from working properly: - Full disc installation - Full disc installation with LVM 3.2-2 fixes the non-LVM case, while it doesn't fix the second one, since we're now getting a different issue, apparently about primary partition count. I'll try to post more details soon. I've rebuilt a netinst image with 3.1-4 and I can confirm that just downgrading parted's udebs to this version makes d-i work again like it did past week when I uploaded d-i in preparation for the D-I Jessie Beta 1 release. Given this particular bug was also present in 3.2-1 (even if masked by the alignment issue), I'm versioning it as found in 3.2-1, so that 3.2-2 has a chance to migrate when it's old enough. If that doesn't sound like a good idea, please adjust version [and explain why ;)]. Mraw, KiBi. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Bug#757417: libparted2-udeb: breaks auto-lvm in d-i
Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org (2014-08-08): 3.2-2 fixes the non-LVM case, while it doesn't fix the second one, since we're now getting a different issue, apparently about primary partition count. I'll try to post more details soon. I've looked into it a bit more and discovered that the failing reason was autopartitioning_failed, which belongs to partman-auto-lvm's perform_recipe_by_lvm. I've therefore added some debug as can be seen in the attached patch. The syslog got augmented accordingly with the final line in this excerpt (which isn't much but better than before): | Aug 8 01:02:14 main-menu[213]: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' selected | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna-install: Installing partman-auto-lvm | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (cdebconf-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (di-utils): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (kernel-image-3.14-2-486-di): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (core-modules-3.14-2-486-di): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (fat-modules): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (libdebian-installer4-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (archdetect): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (hw-detect): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: retrieving lvm2-udeb 2.02.106-2 | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4582]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-lvm 90 | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4582]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-auto-lvm 53+nmu2 | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna-install: Installing partman-auto-crypto | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (cdebconf-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (di-utils): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (kernel-image-3.14-2-486-di): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (core-modules-3.14-2-486-di): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (fat-modules): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (libdebian-installer4-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (archdetect): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (hw-detect): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-auto-crypto 22 | Aug 8 01:02:16 anna[4682]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-crypto 73 | Aug 8 01:02:17 kernel: [ 111.532021] raid6: mmxx1 6180 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.600018] raid6: mmxx2 6640 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.668015] raid6: sse1x15192 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.736016] raid6: sse1x26531 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.804009] raid6: sse2x1 10550 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.872013] raid6: sse2x2 13226 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.872014] raid6: using algorithm sse2x2 (13226 MB/s) | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.872015] raid6: using intx1 recovery algorithm | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.872298] xor: measuring software checksum speed | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.912008]pIII_sse : 16192.000 MB/sec | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.952011]prefetch64-sse: 17323.000 MB/sec | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.952013] xor: using function: prefetch64-sse (17323.000 MB/sec) | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.954730] bio: create slab bio-1 at 1 | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.954773] Btrfs loaded | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.963252] JFS: nTxBlock = 8068, nTxLock = 64548 | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.972423] SGI XFS with ACLs, security attributes, realtime, large block/inode numbers, no debug enabled | Aug 8 01:02:18 md-devices: mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 112.353097] device-mapper: uevent: version 1.0.3 | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 112.353275] device-mapper: ioctl: 4.27.0-ioctl (2013-10-30) initialised: dm-de...@redhat.com | Aug 8 01:02:18 partman: No matching physical volumes found | Aug 8 01:02:18 partman: Reading all physical volumes.
