Since August 2020, GitLab Continuous Integration test jobs have been
failing on the CentOS 7 image like this from
tests/test_SupportedFileSystems.log:
process 6319: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: UUID file '/etc/machine-id' should contain a hex string of length 32, not length 0, with no other text
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.

Not sure why this has just started failing in the CentOS 7 CI image now,
but the error is widely known [1][2][3][4]. Use
systemd-machine-id-setup to generate a machine ID [5][6]; rather than
dbus-uuidgen [7] as it's designed to integrate into VMs and does the
right thing if a valid machine ID already exists.

All the test_SupportedFileSystems unit tests which need a loop device
are failing when running losetup like this:
losetup: <IMAGE_NAME>: failed to setup loop device: No such file or directory
losetup uses /dev/loop-control [1][2] which no longer exists in the
Docker image. However even after creating /dev/loop-control in the
image, losetup continues to fail. Also tried stracing losetup but that
fails like this, presumably because it is not allowed inside the Docker
image:
$ strace losetup --find --show /tmp/disk.img
strace: ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, ...): Operation not permitted
+++ exited with 1 +++
For now I have run out of ways to investigate and resolve this, so just
exclude the 12 tests which required loop devices. All the tests still
execute when run locally outside the restricted GNOME GitLab CI Docker
setup.

See how the test_BlockSpecial fixtures are getting major=0 and minor=0
for the block special devices they are testing with. This is happening
because there aren't any entries in /dev for those disks and partitions
listed in /proc/partitions. Assume that Docker in GNOME GitLab has
changed and that unneeded and unwanted devices in /dev are no longer
being created inside images.
In the test CI jobs execute new script, tests/makedev.sh, to create just
the first two block special devices mentioned in /proc/partitions needed
by test_BlockSpecial.

Seems to be referring to how Fill_Label_Device_Info() worked in the
past, but from history before the beginning of the GIT repository.
Remove out of date comment.
Debian user reported a bug [1] that when they had PS_FORMAT environment
variable set it prevented GParted running:
# export PS_FORMAT='ruser,uid,pid,ppid,pri,ni,%cpu,%mem,vsz,rss,stat,tty,start,time,command'
# gparted
The process gpartedbin is already running.
Only one gpartedbin process is permitted.
# echo $?
1
Using ps column 'command' includes the command and all it's arguments,
rather than just the command name as ps displays by default. Thus the
shell wrapper finds the grep command it's using when searching for the
gpartedbin executable.
# ps -e | grep gpartedbin
root 0 26114 14777 19 0 0.0 0.0 112712 940 S+ pts/0 10:42:02 00:00:00 grep --color=auto gpartedbin
Fix by searching for running processes using pidof. pgrep does regular
expression matching where as pidof checks program name is the same [2].
Therefore use of pidof is preferred over pgrep [3].

/dev/sdd is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!
Opening the whole disk block device exclusively causes mkfs.ext4 to
report that error like this:
# python
>>> import os
>>> f = os.open('/dev/sdb',os.O_RDONLY|os.O_EXCL)
>>> ^Z
[1]+ Stopped python
# mkfs.ext4 -F -O ^64bit -L '' '/dev/sdb'
mke2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
/dev/sdb is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!
# echo $?
1
I have not been able to reproduce this error, but with debugging and
sleeping in GParted, stracing GParted and using 'udevadm monitor' to
watch udev events the following sequence of events is seen:
gparted |format(partition, operationdetail)
gparted | erase_filesystem_signatures(partition, operationdetail)
gparted | get_device(device_path="/dev/sdb", lp_device, flush=false)
gparted | ped_device_get("/dev/sdb")
libparted | open("/dev/sdb", O_RDONLY) = 11
libparted | close(11)
gparted | ped_device_open(lp_device)
libparted | open("/dev/sdb", O_RDWR) = 11
gparted | ped_device_sync(lp_device)
libparted | ioctl(11, BLKFLSBUF)
gparted | ped_device_close()
libparted | close(11)
udev(async)| KERNEL change /devices/.../sdb (block)
udev(async)| UDEV change /devices/.../sdb (block)
gparted | set_partition_type(partition, operationdetail)
gparted | create_filesystem(partition, operationdetail)
gparted | ext2::create(partition, operationdetail)
gparted | FileSystem::execute_command("mkfs.ext4 -F -O ^64bit -L '' '/dev/sdb')
So it is assumed that the processing of the udev change rule after
closing the block device in erase_filesystem_signatures() overlaps with
the execution mkfs.ext4 and causes the seen error. Fix by waiting for
those udev events to complete as was previously done by commits [1][2]
[3].
Also note that this is specific to creating file systems on and
formatting unpartitioned whole disk devices because set_partition_type()
is a no-operation. Where as on a partitioned device
set_partition_type() calls commit() which already waits for udev rules
to complete [3].
