Description Raghavendra Bhat 2010-04-23 06:22:17 UTC

Suppose the /proc/partitions is not updated while the platform is being installed, then that error should be reported to the user in the UI. It just says installation is in progress and installation does not complete. One has to reboot the machine and install the platform again. That error should be reported to the user in the UI and suggest the user to reboot the machine and install again.

This issue is seen when the partitions created during platform installation, where the disks are already partitioned earlier with msdos.  Since platform does mklabel with gpt, this seems to be causing the problem.

Even the partprobe and any other utility doesn't help to update partition tables. When we reboot the machine and install again it will work.

There is a work around for this kernel behaviour by doing a "udev trigger" and "udev settle"  with a "modprobe scsi_wait_scan" which is sometimes required to be done for certain disks and is part of anaconda source code.  Apart from that more testing is required for this issue.

Seen and can be reproduced on the Dell MD boxes we have in our lab.

Is this issue still valid?, Raghavendra can you ask relevant people in QA to test and see if its still valid. 

Thanks
