[Bug 1220165] Re: Error reading xfs partitions

[Erick Brunzell]

In order to prove that this is not just an XFS problem I filed a new bug
#1231710 and here's what I started with:

lance at lance-desktop:~$ sudo parted -l
[sudo] password for lance: 
Model: ATA WDC WD800BB-63JK (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags
 1      1049kB  57.6GB  57.6GB  primary   ext4            boot
 2      57.6GB  80.0GB  22.4GB  extended
 6      57.6GB  77.9GB  20.3GB  logical   ext4
 5      77.9GB  80.0GB  2136MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)

lance at lance-desktop:~$ sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="9f906d04-f024-4834-be4d-c833a8149667" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sda5: UUID="da2d5705-2cb2-4f58-ad81-32b7bd6def81" TYPE="swap" 
/dev/sda6: UUID="d9a3994a-233b-43bf-b251-cc21a894260b" TYPE="ext4" 

Now, to be perfectly clear, that was a dual-boot of two Lubuntu i386
20130925 images. I tested both before proceeding and they both booted
and performed as expected, but I know from personal experience that this
also effects Ubuntu GNOME 20130926 images - both i386 and amd64.

Please let me know what other info I can provide.

Title:
  Error reading xfs partitions

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing the desktop powerpc image, the installer comes up with
  an error message:

  "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partitino /dev/sda3
  - Device or resource busy.  This means Linuxc won't know about any
  changes you made to /dev/sda3 until you reboot - so you shouldn't
  mount it or use it in any way before rebooting."

  I made no changes.  The installer comes up with this error all on its
  own right before the "Where are you?" screen.
