[Bug 1830211] Re: Backport finalrd to bionic

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted finalrd into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/finalrd/3~ubuntu18.04.0 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
  Finalrd is a utility that allows to integrate shutdown hooks with
  systemd-shutdown pivot-root functionality.
  
  In cosmic and up this has proven to allow integrating shutdown hooks
  that resolve various unclean or delayed shutdown issues.
  
  Specifically mdadm Intel Matrix raid unclean or hung shutdown issues.
  In a public cloud with iscsiroot executing logout on the remote server.
  
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ CPC team to run their tests and see if the 30 second shutdown delay is
+ still present on PV hosts for bionic.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
  By itself it is inert, and generates a basic shutdown initrd usable with
  systemd-shutdown. It's upto the integration packages to ship finalrd
  hooks and start depending on finalrd. Thus introducing finalrd alone in
  bionic, will not cause changes in shutdown behaviour.

** Changed in: finalrd (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Changed in: finalrd (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: New => Fix Committed
