Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH 3/3] daemon: Run udev_settle after pwrite-device finishes.

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones(a)redhat.com&gt; When you call close on any block device, udev kicks off a rule which runs blkid to reexamine the device. We need to wait for this rule to finish running since it holds the device open and can cause other operations to fail, notably BLKRRPART. --- daemon/file.c | 17 ++++++++++++++--- daemon/parted.c | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/file.c b/daemon/file.c index 91746e0..3e42c1e 100644 --- a/daemon/file.c +++ b/daemon/file.c @@ -525,7 +525,7 @@ do_pread_device (const char *device, int count, int64_t offset, size_t *size_r) static int pwrite_fd (int fd, const char *content, size_t size, int64_t offset, - const char *display_path) + const char *display_path, int settle) { ssize_t r; @@ -541,6 +541,17 @@ pwrite_fd (int fd, const char *content, size_t size, int64_t offset, return -1; } + /* When you call close on any block device, udev kicks off a rule + * which runs blkid to reexamine the device.
