The Lorax project found a regression in kpartx -d behavior introduced by the following commit: 9bdfa3eb8e24b668e6c2bb882cddb0ccfe23ed5b This patch should fix the problem. It's easy to reproduce this problem (I did it on Fedora 28) with the following commands: # kpartx -av disk.img ... # kpartx -dv disk.img Notice that the loop devices and partition mappings created by the first command are not cleaned up by the second command.
