2015-06-20 00:25:42 William Grant description growpart uses sgdisk to resize gpt partition tables and then 'partx --update' to inform the kernel of those changes. an example usage of sgdisk ends up looking like this: # Modify the partition table. all in one go (order is important!): # - move the GPT backup header to the end of the disk # - delete the partition # - recreate the partition with the new size # - set the partition code # - set the partition GUID # - set the partition name sgdisk --move-second-header --delete=1 --new=1:18432:20971486 --typecode=1:0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 --partition-guid=1:53FFEF70-1623-46CC-AFB7-EBC1EB5340F2 '--change-name=1:Linux filesystem' /dev/sda We're seeing an issue on ppc64el systems with gpt partition tables. This reproduces only occasionally. Note, when growpart runs, the partition it is updating is mounted. It does this to accomodate space at the end (a grow virtual disk). The failure we saw was this (we only have logs), and subsequent run of 'growpart' finished fine: command: growpart /dev/sda 1 exit code: 2 stdout: FAILED: disk=/dev/sda partition=1: failed to repartition stderr: failed [sgdisk_mod:4] sgdisk --move-second-header --delete=1 --new=1:18432:20971486 --typecode=1:0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 --partition-guid=1:53FFEF70-1623-46CC-AFB7-EBC1EB5340F2 --change-name=1:Linux filesystem /dev/sda Could not create partition 1 from 40532396646334464 to 0 Could not change partition 1's type code to 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4!

[Test Case] On a ppc64el system with a sacrificial GPT disk (because it will blow away your /dev/sda1): while sudo sgdisk --delete=1 --new=1:18432:37748702 /dev/sda; do :; done This will normally fail after less than 20 iterations, usually like this: Could not create partition 1 from 40532396646334464 to 0 [Regression Potential] Very minimal. The patch just initialises an uninitialised variable, which happens to usually (and on x86 apparently always) contain a benign value.
