[Bug 1450383] [NEW] doesn't cope with corrupted SSH key files

[Loïc Minier]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

when cloud-init starts on snappy for the first time, it will generate
host SSH keys. If power is removed after this point, fsck might replace
this uncommitted data by zero files, in which case it's impossible to
login to the system.

A workaround would be to flush/sync data to disk after writing the
files, but I guess the root cause fix would be to check on each boot if
the files were successfully written in full or otherwise regenerate
them.

Cheers,
