+upgrade:
+  - |
+    Adds a new configuration option ``[disk_utils]partprobe_attempts`` which
+    defaults to 10. This is the maximum number of times to try to read a
+    partition (if creating a config drive) via a ``partprobe`` command. Set
+    it to 1 if you want the previous behavior, where no retries were done.
