An update that has four fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update provides KIWI v7.03.120, which brings fixes and enhancements:

  • Keep NVMe drivers in the initrd in order to support systems with the root filesystem on NVMe devices. (bsc#1060304)
  • Calling 'pvs --noheadings -o vg_name <device>' is not sufficient to get the volume name and to determine if LVM is being used, as it could happen that udev events are not yet processed, thus the <device> is not yet properly mapped, so it changed to use blkid to determine if the type of the requested partition is LVM and if so it proceeds to a polling strategy to call pvs tool until it succeeds or timing out after 30 seconds. (bsc#1059715)
  • Fix setting the blocksize value for losetup via the -L command line option. This was broken due to an option name clash between suse util-linux and upstream. (bsc#1066873)
  • Due to jitters in boot on Azure, the drivers are not always found, so keep them in the initrd to avoid the issue in the virtualized environment. (bsc#1059633)
