[Bug 765843] Re: Intermittent mount failure after growroot

[Clint Byrum]

It looks like this has been merged into Scott's upstream branch and will
be uploaded to Oneiric. I'm not sure this patch can be incorporated into
an SRU as-is, but it looks like Scott has tweaked it a bit to use wait-
for-root *and* udevadm settle, which seems safer.

Once this has landed in Oneiric, the bit that fixes this bug only should
be extracted and prepared as an SRU to natty.

Bug description:
  Natty 11.04 Final beta

  cloud-initramfs-growroot:
    Installed: 0.1ubuntu1

  Getting intermittent mount failures after 'grow root' on an amd64
  image. About 1 in 10 fail.

  The 'wait-for-root' condition passes, yet the mount still fails with a
  '/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx: No such file or directory' error.

  It doesn't seem to happen at all on an i386 image.

  These images are launched with kvm.
