| cjwatson | bdmurray: I've been away all day, let me catch up | 20:01 |
| cjwatson | bdmurray: followed up | 20:11 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: there was some discussion about it in #ubuntu-testing and jibel asked about set -ex and they said they were sure they set it | 20:19 |
| cjwatson | bdmurray: comment 10 - it might actually need to be set in the previous script | 20:20 |
| cjwatson | bdmurray: looks like I may have missed the user in question now, though? | 20:20 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: ah yes it looks like they left #u-t | 20:21 |
| cjwatson | I sort of have half a suspicion, but it's not strong enough to make a late upload on the strength of my guesswork, and I don't yet understand why it wouldn't be consistently reproducible | 20:22 |
| bdmurray | from what I understand I don't think may people would run into it | 20:22 |
| cjwatson | I don't feel I have enough information to make a judgement on that, not knowing what causes it, TBH | 20:23 |
| cjwatson | I know it doesn't come up in trivial install-then-install-again cases, but for all I know there's some really common configuration that triggers it | 20:24 |
| cjwatson | I wonder if the fact that an LV snapshot is present might be relevant | 20:28 |
| cjwatson | but I won't be able to run a test until tomorrow morning, when I'm in London | 20:29 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: how would you go about setting up the test? I could give it a try. | 20:29 |
| cjwatson | I guess do an install, create a snapshot, try an install on top; TBH I don't actually use LVM snapshots myself but I think the command is lvcreate -s | 20:35 |
| cjwatson | (with a bunch of options, see its man page) | 20:35 |
| cjwatson | I don't see an obvious reason in the kernel why the bit I'm thinking of would fail for LVM snapshots, though | 20:37 |
