tune2fs doesn't set UUID on a loopback device after mount/unmount

[Slava Abramov]

Below is the script we're running. tune2fs doesn't set UUID (can be checked with blkid) and exits abnormally (so that commands after tune2fs call are not getting executed).

If we move tune2fs call above the mount command, everything works fine. Also, it works fine everywhere else including Ubuntu 16.04.3.

#!/bin/bash
set -e
FOREMAN_SIZE=100
UUID="7b48ec41-a9fc-4937-b368-dfeae01c49f7"
MNT=$(mktemp -d -t mnt.XXXXXXXXXX)
trap "[[ -z "$MNT" ]] || rm -rf $MNT ||:" 0 1 2 3 15
if [[ -f foreman.tar.xz ]] && [[ ! -f foreman.img ]]; then
        echo "Creating \"foreman\" home image ..."
        qemu-img create -f raw -o size=${FOREMAN_SIZE}G foreman.img
        lo=$(sudo losetup --show -f foreman.img)
        echo -e "n\np\n\n\n\nw" | sudo fdisk $lo ||:
        sudo kpartx -asv $lo
        sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/${lo##*/}p1
        sudo mount /dev/mapper/${lo##*/}p1 $MNT
        sudo tar -C $MNT -Jxvf foreman.tar.xz
        sudo umount $MNT
        sudo tune2fs /dev/mapper/${lo##*/}p1 -U $UUID
        sudo kpartx -d $lo
        sudo losetup -d $lo
