Hi Esteban, We have released WALinuxAgent-2.2.38-2.el7 last month which included this fix. I think the latest RHEL-7.8 images already have this package installed. Let's discuss with Alfred Sin if we need to rebuild RHEL-7.7 gen2 image. For RHEL-8, we plan to release v2.2.46 later, so don't plan to backport this patch in v2.2.38. The v2.2.46 will be released in several months. Is it very urgent for any customer? Thanks! For cloud-init, I have run basic test in Gen2 and didn't find this issue. Hey Yuxin, Thanks for the update! :) I've updated my 7.7 VM to 7.8 and updated to WALinuxAgent-2.2.38-2 which was able to mount the ephemeral disk. For now I've gotten a couple of people asking about this, but I'm seeing this happening more often as Gen2 becomes widely available. Do you know if WALinuxAgent-2.2.38-2 would be backported to 7.7? Thanks!

In RHEL7 (unlike RHEL8) WALinuxAgent is distributed through 'extras' channel which is not tied to a particular Y-stream release, it's the same repo for all of them. The 'extras' repo needs to be enabled to receive the update though and this may not be the default case for some EUS customers. Hi Esteban, I'd like to close this BZ as a duplicate of BZ#1714167. Please update here if you have any concern. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1714167 *** Hey Yuxin, The only concern I have is how we'll distribute the updated version to EUS customers? Don't mind closing the BZ as long as we have a clear plan on bringing the 2.2.38-2 version to EUS customers. Thx! Hi Esteban, Sorry we don't provide WALA package in EUS repo. Current resolution is: "Contact Red Hat Support or Microsoft Support if you have EUS and need a copy of the waagent that is not corrupted or need a copy for a reinstall." (KCS: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4134701) Hi Alfred, Do you know that if it is possible to build the new WALA package into those gen2 images(e.g. 74-gen2...) in Azure Marketplace? In such case I think we don't need WALA package in EUS repo. Currently WALinuxAgent-2.2.38-2.el7_7.noarch.rpm includes this fix. Thanks! Oops, added Mayank but accidentally cleared my needinfo without actually providing any info. Yuxin, just to clarify, the new WALA package should be available all the way back to 7.4? When we build the image we literally just run 'yum install -y WALinuxAgent' so it will install whatever version is available. I'll kick off a 7.4 to check. This shows up in a RHEL 7.4 build that just ran: "Package WALinuxAgent-2.2.38-2.el7_7.noarch already installed and latest version" So I think we're good here... it seems like new images built will have 2.2.38-2 installed.

Great! Thank you so much Alfred! Hi Esteban, Can this be a resolution of your question? Thanks!
