[Bug 1946828] Re: ntfsresize hang and call traces in syslog

[Dan Bungert]

@Etienne - agree, probably a dupe

@Jeremy - I ran "ntfsresize -f -i /dev/sda4" manually before the
installer ran and ntfsresize had no issue.  Later during this same run,
I saw the hang when ntfsresize was run by Ubiquity.

@Jean-Pierre - I suspect this is a kernel bug more than I suspect a
ntfsresize one.

Here's a sample process tree:
   5991 S   sh -c ubiquity gtk_ui
   5992 S   /bin/sh /usr/lib/udisks2/udisks2-inhibit /usr/lib/ubiquit
   6002 Sl  /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity gtk_ui
   6411 Ss+ /bin/busybox tail -f /var/log/installer/debug -f /var/log
   8639 S   /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/bin/debconf-communicate -fnonintera
   9107 S   /usr/share/ubiquity/activate-dmraid && /bin/partman
   9108 S   /usr/share/ubiquity/activate-dmraid && /bin/partman
   9114 S   /bin/sh /bin/partman
  10014 S   /bin/sh /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto
  10060 S   /bin/sh /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto
  10062 S   /bin/sh /lib/partman/automatically_partition/10resize_use
  10131 D   [ntfsresize]                                    

ntfsresize has been invoked as "ntfsresize -f -i /dev/sda4", where this
sda4 is a partition created by Windows 10, is NTFS, and is 508MiB.
Also, if I kill parent process of ntfsresize (pid 10062 in this case),
the install is able to continue.

  ntfsresize hang and call traces in syslog

Bug description:
  Attempting to boot the impish final iso on my kvm VM setup with a
  windows 10 install on the virtual disk.  The install process hangs at
  the "updates and other software" screen, apparently on a ntfsresize
  call.  Mind you, this is before I have chosen disks to partition - I'm
  at the step where I can choose a Normal or Minimal installation.

  While this is not a 100% reproduction rate issue, the rate seems high
  - above 50% I would guess.  If I try to quickly click thru the
  installer on boot it might be a little more likely.
