Currently we only export "image-block-device" which is the loopback device (/dev/loopX) for the underlying image. This is the device we install grub to (from inside the chroot ...) This is ok for x86, but is insufficient for some platforms like PPC which have a separate boot partition. They do not want to install to the loop device, but do things like dd special ELF files into special boot partitions. The first problem seems to be that in level1/partitioning.py we have a whole bunch of different paths that either call partprobe on the loop device, or kpartx. We have _all_part_devices_exist() that gates the kpartx for unknown reasons. We have detach_loopback() that does not seem to remove losetup created devices. I don't think this does cleanup if it uses kpartx correctly. It is extremley unclear what's going to be mapped where. This moves to us *only* using kpartx to map the partitions of the loop device. We will *not* call partprobe and create the /dev/loopXpN devices and will only have the devicemapper nodes kpartx creates. This seems to be best. Cleanup happens inside partitioning.py. practice. Deeper thinking about this, and more cleanup of the variables will be welcome. This adds "image-block-devices" (note the extra "s") which exports all the block devices with name and path. This is in a string format that can be eval'd to an array (you can't export arrays). This is then used in a follow-on (I0918e8df8797d6dbabf7af618989ab7f79ee9580) to pick the right partition on PPC.

Image building tools for OpenStack
==================================
``diskimage-builder`` is a flexible suite of components for building a
wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk images for
use with OpenStack.
This repository has the core functionality for building such images,
both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using `elements`;
while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have
the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.
For example::
$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu
will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based ``qcow2`` image.
``diskimage-builder`` is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the
components of `TripleO <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/TripleO>`__
that are responsible for building disk images. They are also used
extensively to build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly
with `nodepool
<https://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/nodepool.html>`__.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
