Public bug reported:

I need to repartition the root drive. After repartitioning everything
looks good. e2fsck -f /etc/sda1 works and I can make a file system and
mount the new partition.

However, when I reboot  it fails with: bad geometry: block count exceeds
size of device. However, the exact same code works if I first apt-get
purge cloud-init.

I am testing in hyper-v with a Ubuntu 14.04 image downloaded from Azure.

The same code also works in vmware and a modified version works in
centos.

I don't understand how cloud-init could be affecting things since it
fails well before cloud-init starts.
