You have been subscribed to a public bug: After installing 24.04 with a zfs root, the system fails on first boot with an error that the rpool belongs to another system. This suggests that the installer is failing to export the pools after the install is complete. The zpool import must be manually forced for the boot to proceed, as in attached screenshot.
For greater context: I work with an infrastructure in which we network boot machines from the ubuntu server ISO with a preseed to automate the OS installation on our bare metal. The intended result is that we can flag a server to be reinstalled, reboot it, and then wait until it comes back up with a clean install, no user intervention required or desired. For the 22.04 images this works fine and the server will install and reboot cleanly. For the 24.04 installer, it doesn't, because of the above error with the zpool after reboot. The same preseed that produces a booting system from the 22.04(.4) ISO results in failure for the 24.04 version. This seems to be the same ultimate failure mode as in https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/2049761, albeit in that issue the reporting user used the desktop installer and it appears they may have rebooted the system before the installer was completely finished. That can't be the case for us as we're using the installer fully automated and it is choosing if and when it restarts. I will attach the installer-journal.txt log from the host, though obviously that only extends as far as the moment the installer copies its logfiles into the target. As the installation is done via netbooting the ISO the installer environment itself is entirely ephemeral so the complete logs from installation media are not available. ** Affects: subiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged -- rpool fails to import on first boot after automated install (failed PRE_SHUTDOWN?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2073772 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
