pvsadm image build fails for redhat images with error Error: failed while preparing the image for rhel distro, err: failed to growpart for the device: /dev/loop0 and partition: 2, exitcode: 1, stdout: NOCHANGE: partition 2 is size 2097152. it cannot be grown , err:

[janagoudarniroop]

What happened: Currently using pvsadm tool to build rhel 9-4 power images and is currently failing as its not able to expand the /dev/loop devices. cloud-utils-growpart is already installed on the system and and temporary filesystem of 300GB has been atatched. Command used : pvsadm image qcow2ova --image-name <image-name> --image-url ./<rhel-9-4-qcow2> --image-dist rhel --image-size 100 --rhn-user <rhel-username> --rhn-password <rhel-password> --os-password <password> --temp-dir /rhel_tmp --prep-template <template-script>

Error: failed while preparing the image for rhel distro, err: failed to growpart for the device: /dev/loop0 and partition: 2, exitcode: 1, stdout: NOCHANGE: partition 2 is size 2097152. it cannot be grown
, err: 

What you expected to happen: Resolve the issue as the /dev/loop devices are getting created automatically on every run and its failing to expand .

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Try building a rhel image using pvsadm tool

pvsadm image qcow2ova --image-name <image-name> --image-url ./<rhel-9-4-qcow2> --image-dist rhel --image-size 100 --rhn-user <rhel-username> --rhn-password <rhel-password> --os-password <password> --temp-dir /rhel_tmp --prep-template <template-script>

I tried reproducing the issue with the latest version but couldn't reproduce this issue. I am able to convert 9.4 image successfully.
