validation sets are still correct after partial refresh Indeed, the size of the ubuntu-seed partition is 2.5GB instead of 2GB that was in the first revision of the gadget snap, which we released a year ago. Over time, the size of preinstalled snaps grew greatly and this section had to be increased to create new images, devices from the first revision(with 2GB partition) also received new configuration of the gadget snap with other updates. Something has changed in the snapd 2.61.1 and you can no longer do like this? is there a way around this? Thanks.
