That is not true. whilst sfdisk is deleting, creating, finishing partition table (a) and partx is called (b), udev events are already fired and running in parallel and may complete against deleted, partially new, completely new partition table, with or without partx completed. No amount of settling for events will fix the fact that events were run against racy state of the partition table _during_ sfdisk and partx calls. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-azure in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834875 Title: cloud-init growpart race with udev Status in cloud-init: Incomplete Status in cloud-utils: New Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On Azure, it happens regularly (20-30%), that cloud-init's growpart module fails to extend the partition to full size.
