Hello, I imagine this is not the first email you receive informing of
this problem, but I haven't found any bug tracker for libparted to make
sure.
In my debian squeeze with libparted 2.3, the parted command can't detect
the filesystems in the partitions inside a disk with 4096-byte sector size.
You can reproduce the error by generating a ramdisk drive using
scsi_debug as follows:
#!/bin/bash
modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=100 sector_size=4096
sleep 1
parted /dev/sdf mklabel msdos
parted /dev/sdf mkpart primary 0 55
parted /dev/sdf mkpart primary 56 105
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdf1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdf2
And then running parted for examine the newly created partitions. the
result is this:
GNU Parted 2.3
Utilitzant /dev/sdf
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) p
Model: Linux scsi_debug (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdf: 105MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096B/4096B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 262kB 55,1MB 54,8MB primary
2 55,1MB 105MB 49,8MB primary
As you can see, the File system column is empty, which does not happen
if we work with 512-byte sectors.
Regards
