[Bug 1876506] Re: eoan to focal upgrade hangs when lvm snapshot is present

[Julian Andres Klode]

The maintainer script becomes a zombie, because perl -w ...
debconf/frontend ... memtest86+.postinst is stuck in a read() from fd 9,
which is a pipe.

Title:
  eoan to focal upgrade hangs when lvm snapshot is present

Status in debconf package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in debconf source package in Focal:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When upgrading from 19.10 (w/ LVM + encypted disks) to 20.04, the
  installer hangs when trying to probe an LVM snapshot volume created
  before the upgrade.

  Steps to reproduce:

  lvcreate -s -L 20G -n preupgrade /dev/vgubuntu/root 
  do-release-upgrade -d

  The installer will hang after the following message:

  /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem.
  Found Ubuntu 19.10 (19.10) on /dev/mapper/vgubuntu-preupgrade
  done

  Resolution:

  Killing the grub-mount process which is probing the LVM snapshot seems
  to unhang the installer and allow the upgrade to complete without
  issue.
