action #157432
Updated by okurz about 2 months ago
## Observation
Failed job:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13768555#step/bootloader_start/39
Reproduce steps:
1. wipefs -af /dev/sda
erased disk successful.
2. sync
3. parted -s /dev/sda mklabel gpt
Error: Partition(s)2,3 on /dev/sda have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making future changes.
## Acceptance criteria
* **AC1**: Errors clearly state what the problem is
* **AC2**: Test is able to handle a non-empty disk
## Suggestions
* Maybe specific to grenache, see https://openqa.suse.de/tests/14289526#next_previous
* `Error detected during first stage of the installation at sle/tests/autoyast/installation.pm line 288.`
* Maybe related to #157447 - to be confirmed
* Sporadic issue https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?arch=ppc64le&distri=sle&flavor=Online&machine=ppc64le-spvm&test=create_hdd_textmode_yast&version=15-SP6#next_previous
* Ensure the disk is cleaned if it's not empty before running the test
* Properly wipe the disk
* Unmount the partition before trying to delete it (it seems partitions are automounted)
