Hi Mathieu,
I noticed that partitions created by the installer appear to not be
properly unmounted, at least when running in the context of (gnu tests
install):

However, I’ve added logging in ‘umount-user-partitions’ in (gnu
installer parted), and the installer does seem to unmount partitions
correctly.
Could it be a side effect of the MS_MOVE dance in
1d02052067e04d7dd8fd1ec17557ca02a30b9bcf?
(I’m observing this on ‘wip-installer-tests’, roughly based on
117d8467be232bcc1b0136d04f362d95d975ca95.)
Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hey Ludo,
Nice progress on that branch :)

Could be, I ran the following command on wip-installer-test branch:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
make check-system TESTS=gui-installed-os
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But it appears to get stuck at this step:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
conversation expecting pattern ((quote pause))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I'll try to investigate further later on.
Thanks,
Mathieu

Don’t investigate on that branch yet though, I have quite a lot of
changes that I’ll push soon. :-)
But I think the problem should show up even with “make check-system
TESTS=installed-os” on master.
Thanks,

Well this does not involve the graphical installer, so I'm not sure to
understand.
Anyway, testing the installer in Qemu, I can reproduce a failure where
the first umount in "umount-cow-store" throws an exception (busy
device), when umounting a crypted partition.
That's probably what's bitting you, so to be continued!
Thanks,
Mathieu

Hmm I’m not sure this is true.

On current ‘wip-installer-test’
(0699b97f7df8708a000eb7bfb043c2cef6672dc3), you can run:
make check-system TESTS=gui-installed-os
(It should succeed.)
If you take the /gnu/store/…-installation item produced and mount it as
I showed before in this thread, you should see a “recovery complete”
message from the kernel.
Note that LUKS is not involved at all in this case, and ‘umount’ doesn’t
throw.
