Hercules s390 emulator installation failed at disk partitioning;
new partitions don't seem to show up in /dev.

Comments/Problems:
Trying an s390 installation inside hercules on amd64.
Following the instructions at
http://www.josefsipek.net/docs/s390-linux/hercules-s390.html
The disk image was created with
dasdinit -z -lfs -linux 3390.LINUX.0120 3390-3 LIN120
The installer started fine. Activated the DASD without formatting it,
as per the instructions.
Created a new partition for / using all the available space, no
swap. (This left 98.3 kB FREE SPACE but I doubt that's important.)
Partitioning the disk failed with
The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of DASD 0.0.0120 (ECKD) failed.
Looking at /var/log/syslog from a separate shell:
Dec 3 07:12:14 partman: mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Dec 3 07:12:14 partman: Could not stat /dev/dasda1 --- No such file or directory
Dec 3 07:12:14 partman:
Dec 3 07:12:14 partman: The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
Indeed, /dev/dasda1 is not present. However, the partition has apparently
been created:
~ # fdasd -p /dev/dasda
reading volume label ..: VOL1
reading vtoc ..........: ok
Disk /dev/dasda:
cylinders ............: 3339
tracks per cylinder ..: 15
blocks per track .....: 12
bytes per block ......: 4096
volume label .........: VOL1
volume serial ........: LIN120
max partitions .......: 3
------------------------------- tracks -------------------------------
Device start end length Id System
/dev/dasda1 2 50082 50081 1 Linux native
50083 50084 2 unused
There seems to be no way to proceed. I haven't found any combination of
formatting and partitioning that works.
This is fully reproducible. I've also tried the Squeeze beta 1 installer
with similar results.
The hercules version is 3.07-2.

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed but to-the-point report. This may be a kernel,
a udev or a partman issue. Could you please try backing out of the
partitioning menu to the main menu, start a shell in the installer
environment with the appropriate menu item and do the partitioning
yourself by fdasd or whatever's needed? Then please check if the new
partitions show up in /proc/partitions and under /dev. This would help
us narrowing down the case.

Thanks,
Feri.

It works fine if I create the partition manually with fdasd.
Furthermore, if I try to create a partition first with the d-i interface
(getting the error) and then invoke fdasd and write out a trivial no-op
such as change the volume serial from LIN120 to LIN120, /dev/dasda1
appears.
It looks te me like the problem is that d-i does not manage to reread
the partition table.
I'm not sure if I understand the architecture correctly here, but
maybe the problem is this change in parted 2.3 ?
libparted: remove now-worse-than-useless _kernel_reread_part_table
Now that we're using BLKPG properly, there's no point in using the
less-functional BLKRRPART ioctl to make the kernel reread the partition
table.
More importantly, this function would fail when any partition is in
use, in spite of our having carefully vetted them via BLKPG ioctls.
I see fdasd (as of s390-tools 1.8.3-3) uses BLKRRPART and not BLKPG.
The timeline would also fit the successful reports #569209 and #575682.
I suppose I can try to hack parted to use BLKRRPART again and see if
that helps, but it's probably going to take a few days as I need to
get the emulator up and running first so I can rebuild the udeb.

Thanks, that's good info. Now the question is why parted_server failed
to refresh the DASD partitions. It's a pity you didn't attach
/var/log/partman. Could you please attach it to the bug report,
preferably together with /var/log/syslog? You could get them by
selecting "Save debug logs" from the installer main menu.
Wait, see below.

So libparted commits the partition, only fails to notify the kernel.

Agreed.

This looks a fairly plausible theory, and the outcome is even more
interesting, search for DASD in git log libparted/arch/linux.c. As I
understand it, 9fa0e180 may even fix this problem.

Probably you'd be better off backporting the relevant changes to 2.3-4
and testing that.

Thanks! The patch applies cleanly to 2.3-4, and I can confirm that the
it fixes the issue completely for me.
(For the sake of completeness: I built the modified parted on zelenka.d.o
without the build dependencies libblkid-dev and check. They don't seem
to matter in this case.)
I'm attaching the patch for convenience and reassigning this to parted.
Setting the severity to 'serious' as it looks like this breaks d-i on
s390 for everybody and not just hercules users.
Parted maintainers: feel free to downgrade if this is inflated, and
please let me know if I can help further in any way.
