I'm hitting an error when using full disk images, and extended partitions. My disk is having just a primary partition, but also has swap and extended partition. Output from parted is something like: "BYT; 1:1.00MiB:4768MiB:4767MiB:ext4::boot; 2:4768MiB:5722MiB:954MiB:xfs::; 3:5722MiB:7168MiB:1446MiB:::lba; 5:5722MiB:5865MiB:143MiB:linux-swap(v1)::; 6:5865MiB:6247MiB:381MiB:xfs::; 7:6247MiB:7168MiB:921MiB:xfs::;" When i try to deploy, I hit the error: Exception: Deploy failed for instance 0c786f46-6552-4309-8c6d-99c01d013696. Error: Config drive cannot be created for node da9d1550-c531-4cc8-b91f-c3d96fd52ff7. Disk uses MBR partitioning and already has 5 primary partitions. That is because code on list_partitions() is just using a simple regex and counting all partitions without considering the type, leading to incorrect interpretation. Please note that image partitions with ironic is a real use case. Specially in terms of security, having different partitions for /boot, /var, /home, etc... is really needed. So that use case shall be supported.
Thanks for reporting Yolanda. I've uploaded a fix for Ironic [0] today and will backport it to OSP when we get it merged upstream. [0] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/381893/1
We need to propose a backport for stable/newton.
