Comment:

 I'm not sure how this happened on loghost, but it didn't happen on bacula-
 director-01, as created in #31786 (which has the detailed commandline used
 in the creation).

 On the other hand, gettor-01, created as part of #31785, *does* have the
 problem so I'm not sure what's going on here.

 It seems to me we don't have a clear way of reproducing this. From here
 on, maybe we need VM creators to *explicitly* document exactly which steps
 were taken to create the box? Maybe there's a slight change in the way
 partitions are created or something...
