Partman hangs on startup at 72% (Detecting file systems).=20
ps shows init.d/70update_partitions is calling update.d/80visual which
is calling visual.d/nuimber, which is calling "stralign #6", which is
apparently hanging due to being given bad parameters.
After a while (2+ minutes), it does continue, but the partition tree is
all messed up, partitions are represented by something that is not human
readable, and selecting a partition does not work.
As best I can tell, visual.d/number is being passed the following
parameters:
/var/lib/partman/devices/=3Ddev=3Dide=3Dhost0=3Dbus0=3Dtarget0=3Dlun0=3Ddisc
6
96768-50061311
49964544
logical
ext3
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun
This is from /proc/<pid>/cmdline so may be wrong, and I suspect there's
more at the end.
Anyway, looking at visual.d/number, it seems to pass stralign two
parameters, a $number_width and $x, which is from partman/text/number's
description. Since I see "stralign #6" in ps, it must not be getting a
$number_width from anywhere.=20
It looks like number_width used to be defined in partman/partman, but
this has been commented out in the most recent version, with the very
unhelpful commit message "Many changes in partman, look at Debian
changelog files". Nothing I can see in the changelog mentions why it was
commented out.
