@Christian, I haven't tried all of your combinations, but when I mount a second disk using the growpart/e2fsck/resize2fs sequence that you suggest and then mount it, it grows to 725 MB and then zerofree reports what you observed: baccala@osito:~/NPDC/GNS3/bug$ sudo zerofree -v /dev/nbd0p1 3/59636

I like the idea of working this into cloud-init clean. My use case is that I use cloud-init to initially configure an instance that will later be manually configured, so I don't want files lying around that say things like "if you edit this file it will be overwritten on the next boot" (I forget t

Public bug reported: cloud-init creates /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml during its network configuration step. However, "apt purge cloud-init" leaves this file intact. I've seen this behavior on Ubuntu 18, 20, and 22. I can always remove the file manually, but I'm left wondering what other file

@Christian - my lsblk output looks very similar to yours. In particular, all device types are reporting discard support; the only difference is the reported discard sizes. I would suggest that at the end of your tests you check the disk with "debugfs -R dump_unused". I'm seeing disk blocks fille
