[Bug 1475247] Re: ceph-disk-prepare --zap-disk hang

[James Page]

** Description changed:

- During an Autopilot deployment on gMAAS, Juju had hung running a mon-
- relation-changed hook
+ [Impact]
+ Disks with invalid metadata can cause hangs during cleaning; resulting in stuck deployments.
  
- $ ps afxwww | grep -A 4 [m]on-relation-changed                                                                                                                                  
-   29118 ?        S      0:03  \_ /usr/bin/python /var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ceph-1/charm/hooks/mon-relation-changed
-   37996 ?        S      0:00      \_ /bin/sh /usr/sbin/ceph-disk-prepare --fs-type xfs --zap-disk /dev/sdb
-   37998 ?        S      0:00          \_ /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/ceph-disk prepare --fs-type xfs --zap-disk /dev/sdb
-   38016 ?        D      0:00              \_ /sbin/sgdisk --zap-all --clear --mbrtogpt -- /dev/sdb
+ [Test Case]
+ Initialize a disk with invalid metadata using the '--zap-disk' option.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal; already in later Ubuntu releases.
+ 
+ [Original Bug Report]
+ During an Autopilot deployment on gMAAS, Juju had hung running a mon-relation-changed hook
+ 
+ $ ps afxwww | grep -A 4 [m]on-relation-changed
+   29118 ?        S      0:03  \_ /usr/bin/python /var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ceph-1/charm/hooks/mon-relation-changed
+   37996 ?        S      0:00      \_ /bin/sh /usr/sbin/ceph-disk-prepare --fs-type xfs --zap-disk /dev/sdb
+   37998 ?        S      0:00          \_ /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/ceph-disk prepare --fs-type xfs --zap-disk /dev/sdb
+   38016 ?        D      0:00              \_ /sbin/sgdisk --zap-all --clear --mbrtogpt -- /dev/sdb
  
  This had been in this state for > 10m. The logs[1] from the unit in
  question showed that something was up with the partition tables on that
  disk.
  
  I fixed this by hand using gdisk[2]
