Device mounts: ['/dev/sda1 /media/root-ro ext4 ro,relatime,data=ordered 0 0'] That shouldn't be mounted during deployment; the ephemeral image that the target machine netboots shouldn't mount anything at all. Can you also include the full boot log (and if possible getting /var/log/cloud-init* from the ephemeral env would be helpful to see if somehow cloud-init mounted this device). Note, media/root-ro looks a *lot* like a custom kernel command line with overlay root settings. On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 2:07 PM, Rod Smith
