Inconsistent deployment after aborting the deployment in the "installing" step

Hello,

I’m testing deployments using Mender in a Jetson TX2 device previously following the tutorial available in Nvidia Jetson L4T Integration. I have already created a working artifact and I was able to deploy it correctly on another device. Nevertheless, when testing different deployment scenarios, an unexpected behavior has been seen when the deployment is aborted from the Mender website during the artifact installation.

As far as I understand, when the deployment is aborted in the middle of the update process, it should finish normally, but the rollback should be performed. In the performed test, the rollback is started, but it fails, which means that the artifact is finally installed in the device and the mender website marks the current software used as inconsistent.

Do you have any suggestion to avoid this behavior?

Hi,

I’m experiencing the same behavior and I’ve not found solution yet. Does anyone see this behavior and solved it?
