Hi, I maintain 'growpart' in cloud-utils, which handles growing partitions to fill up extra space. Its common that disk images in vms will have additional space added to the end, and growpart just resizes the partition to take advantage of that if it is present. Ubuntu just updated to 2.28.1 and cloud-utils and that caused bug http://pad.lv/1619285. I see that we are now now running with this in place: commit e0d30ef4c sfdisk: exit with error if rereading partition table fails Then i see in trunk that that is reverted: commit 78e7f7889 Revert "sfdisk: exit with error if rereading partition table fails" In the past I had put some hacky error message output string matching handle failure due only to BLKRRPART having failed, since the partition i'm resizing usually is mounted as /. Long story short, could you add a '--no-blkrrpart' flag that growpart could add in its usage. Then it wouldn't have to deal with ignoring an expected failure. Growpart handles calling partx --update --nr <PART> <DEVICE> when it can.
