For experimentations sake, i've replaced the exception handler note question in partman_commit with a call to 'partx -a /dev/sda' for a minimal solution and this appears to work. This is of course specific to this type of scenario where installing into free space on the drive booted from.
Of course all that partx is doing is using the BLKPG ioctl to notify the kernel of the additional partitions and generate events for udev to populate those device nodes. So if implementing a BLKPG ioctl in parted_server or parted is out of the question because of deviating upstream whom wanted to move away from BLKPG in the first place, a preseedable custom exception handler would be fine with me. -- Unable to install from a recovery partition on ubiquity 2.1.29 and later https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532961 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
