Title:
  root partition is not being grown

Status in “cloud-initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upon booting an openstack instance of precise-i386-20111219-failed-console.log, I found that the root filesystem had not been resized as it normally would have been.
  This occurred on both i386 and amd64.

  Kernel output contains something like:
  Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... [    1.852884] FDC 0 is a S82078B
  [    1.862945] 8139cp 0000:00:03.0: eth0: RTL-8139C+ at 0xf840a000, 02:16:3e:21:8a:47, IRQ 11
  [    1.877189] 8139too: 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28
  ***** WARNING: Resize failed, attempting to revert ******
  BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy
  The command to re-read the partition table failed.
  Run partprobe(8), kpartx(8) or reboot your system now,
  before using mkfs
  ***** Appears to have gone OK ****
  GROWROOT: FAILED: failed to resize
  Re-reading the partition table ...
  done.
  done.
  Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done.

  
  It should show something like:

  Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... [    1.314676] 8139cp 0000:00:03.0: eth0: RTL-8139C+ at 0xf840a000, 02:16:3e:3e:94:65, IRQ 11

  This worked as recently as ubuntu-precise-daily-i386-server-20111213.
