[Regression] breaks GRUB install on an nvme device
To manage notifications about this
And regression tested on an NVMe (but non-nvme-subsys) device on an ARM
server:
ubuntu@d05-4:~$ mount | grep /boot/efi
/dev/nvme0n1p1 on /boot/efi type vfat
(rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
ubuntu@d05-4:~$ ls -l /dev/nvme0n1p1
Also regression tested on an EFI system w/ ESP on a non-nvme-subsys
device (virtual machine w/ virtio disks):
dannf@focal:~$ readlink /sys/dev/block/252:2
../../devices/pci:00/:00:02.2/:03:00.0/virtio2/block/vda/vda2
dannf@focal:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/vda
Installing for i386-pc
Verification:
ubuntu@blanka:~$ readlink /sys/dev/block/259\:3
../../devices/virtual/nvme-subsystem/nvme-subsys0/nvme0n1
ubuntu@blanka:~$ sudo apt install libefiboot1 libefivar1

Grub fails to install on systems with nvme-subsys storage when installing

TLDR; I've convinced myself that the first patch can be safely dropped,
so I've re-uploaded without it.
I attempted to demonstrate the problem I mentioned in Comment #3 that
0001-Fix-the-error-path-in-set_disk_and_part_name.patch addresses.
Basically, what would happen if I passed in a device
For others hitting this issue - a workaround is to set nvme-
core.multipath=N on the kernel command line.

[Regression] breaks GRUB

Thank you for the review. I don't believe a surgical fix is practical here. I
did look to see if we could somehow back out the code that introduced the
regression. That was introduced upstream between versions v35 & v36 in this
