Bug description:
=== Begin SRU Template ===
[Impact]
Growing the root partition would fail in either of two cases:
a.) if the device /dev/root existed
This occurs on yakkety systems.
b.) the kernel command line had upper case letters in PARTUUID=<value>
This can be fed via root= on either xenial or yakkety.
[Test Case]
get-proposed-image is
https://git.launchpad.net/~smoser/cloud-init/+git/sru-info/tree/bin/get-proposed-image
It downloads a cloud image of a given release, and then creates a -proposed
image with cloud-init upgraded.
1.) get a (proposed) disk image image.
and convert it to raw so you can read the partuuid with sfdisk
(get-proposed-image does this, if not,
'qemu-img convert -O raw orig.img orig.raw')
./get-proposed-image
2.) get the partition uuid of the first partition
$ raw=yakkety-server-cloudimg-amd64-proposed.raw
$ ptuuid=$(sfdisk --part-uuid $raw 1)
# sfdisk will normally output in upper case, but be explicit here.
$ ptuuid=$(echo "$ptuuid" | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]')
3.) create a nocloud seed
$ printf "%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n" "#cloud-config" "password: passw0rd" \
"chpasswd: {expire: False}" "ssh_pwauth: True" > my-user-data
$ echo "instance-id: $(uuidgen || echo i-abcdefg)" > my-meta-data
$ cloud-localds my-seed.img my-user-data my-meta-data
4.) extract kernel from inside the image
$ sudo mount-image-callback $raw -- mchroot sh -xc 'cat /boot/vmlinu?-*' > kernel
5.) boot instance with disk backed by the raw disk above.
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b $raw disk.img 10G
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm \
-drive file=disk.img,if=ide,index=0 -drive file=my-seed.img,if=ide \
-net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \
-snapshot -m 768 -nographic -echr 0x05 \
-kernel kernel \
-append "root=PARTUUID=${ptuuid} ro console=tty1 console=ttyS0"
6.) log in, verify / has been resized.
log in with 'ubuntu' and password 'passw0rd'
$ df -h /
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 9.6G 1009M 8.6G 11% /
[Regression Potential]
The regression path is really the case where devent2dev finds /dev/root
and /dev/root exists. In that case, we now possibly return a /dev/<device>
path when previously it would have returned /dev/root.
[Other Info]
The qemu-system-x86 command above uses ide devices. This is because
the ide device emulated by qemu is built into the -generic kernel,
whilei the more common virtio-block or virtio-scsi are not. If you
attach those device types, it will fail with 'cant find root'.
=== End SRU Template ===
When trying to verify I found a couple cases where this still does not
work.
