Category: parted Group: Version 1.7.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: rich turner (storix-guest) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: partprobe command loses extended partition Initial Comment: After running partprobe the kernel loses touch with the extended partition on my system. Is this a bug or is this by design? If this is by design then why? # sfdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 39813 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary. DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently. Warning: The partition table looks like it was made for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 39813/16/63). For this listing I'll assume that geometry. Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 0+ 30 31- 248976 83 Linux /dev/hda2 31 2497 2467 19816177+ 5 Extended /dev/hda3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/hda4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/hda5 31+ 2497 2467- 19816146 8e Linux LVM # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 3 0 20066251 hda 3 1 248976 hda1 3 5 19816146 hda5 3 64 20066251 hdb 3 65 32768 hdb1 3 66 20032983 hdb2 # ls /sys/block/hda dev device hda1 hda5 queue range removable size stat # uname -a Linux rich 2.6.12-10-386 #1 Fri Apr 28 13:13:44 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux # partprobe -v partprobe (parted1.7.0) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=410685&aid=303530&group_id=30287 _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
