That's what I was wondering. I'm looking at /var/log/partman now and it
appears that visual.d/35name runs and then I see /bin/perform_recipie
issue a NEW_PARTITION command to make the ext2 partition ( which will
later be formatted as fat32 for the esp ), and then the ext4 partition
for the root and then swap. Later init.d/50efi runs and "sees" the
partition that the earlier script "created" even though it has not
actually been committed to disk yet ( i.e. blkid still sees a blank disk ).
Did we change the ordering in ubuntu or something so that the problem is
that visual.d has priority 35 but init.d/efi has priority 50 when they
should run the other order? I would think that all of the init.d
scripts would be run before any visual.d scripts though, and the
priorities just order them within their group. If that's not the case
then I guess they simply have the wrong priority.
