Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The Bare Metal provisioning service now wipes a disk's metadata before partitioning and writing an image into it. This ensures that the new image boots normally. In previous releases, the Bare Metal provisioning service didn't remove old metadata before starting work on a device, which made it possible for a deployment to fail.

Actual results:

Node should boot after deployment.

Hi! Ironic does clean the partition before deploying. Could you please provide ironic-conductor logs to see if something went wrong during this process?

Comment 5 Gonéri Le Bouder 2016-02-25 14:29:35 UTC
This is the message I guess without the patch:
http://paste.openstack.org/show/488191/

If I can sgdisk -Z I still get this one:
http://paste.openstack.org/show/488189/

Comment 6 Dmitry Tantsur 2016-09-06 16:01:29 UTC
I see both patches have merged, moving to MODIFIED.
