Running the recreate.sh script with util-linux 2.28.1-1ubuntu1 results in a failure when growpart attempts to write the new partition table and update the kernel indicating that the partition table was not cleared from the kernel when we ran 'kpartx -s -v -d /dev/loop0'
In this case we have run: kpartx -s -v -a file # create the loopback device for 'file' and add partition mappings kpartx -s -v -d /dev/loop0 # delete the partition mappings, but keep the loopback device growpart /dev/loop0 1 # grow the 1st partition on /dev/loop0 ** Attachment added: "failure.output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/1618525/+attachment/4730931/+files/failure.output -- 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/1618525 Title: Failure to remove kernel partition mappings in yakkety (2.28.1-1ubuntu1) Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In the move from 2.28-5ubuntu2 and 2.28.1-1ubuntu1 of util-linux we see a regression when asking kpartx to remove kernel partition mappings where the appear to remain. Context: We create and modify disk images heavily. The example recreate creates a 2GB disk image with a single partition. From that 2GB image we will resize it to 8GB and grow the partition/filesystem. This stopped working in yakkety with 2.28.1-1ubuntu1. We do have a work-around which is call growpart on the file rather on the loopback device. Recreate script is attached.
