Description

openvswitch %pre scriptlet adds the openvswitch user to the hugetblfs group. Since %pre runs without set -e by default the failures are ignored resulting in worker nodes that do not come online during a cluster install.

These errors are showing up during the rpm-ostree compose:

14:30:05  openvswitch3.1.prein: usermod.rpmostreesave: /etc/passwd.6: lock file already used
14:30:05  openvswitch3.1.prein: usermod.rpmostreesave: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.

Research direction

Start with the openvswitch %pre scriptlet and the rpm-ostree compose errors shown in the issue. Trace how the usermod operation behaves during cluster installation; done means worker nodes come online without the passwd lock failures or ignored group-update errors.
