Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.42.13-1 Making a filesystem with a raw block device will semi-randomly prompt asking if we are sure. This is because `check_plausibility()` assumes that the Linux device numbering code assumes that raw block devices are assigned minor versions that are 0 modulo 64, when modern Linux systems are 0 modulo 16.
A patch was submitted to upstream yesterday. It has signed-off from both myself and Andreas Dilger: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/48840 HEAD moved the code that needs to be patched from misc/util.c to misc/plausibility.c, so the upstream patch does not apply to Debian's packaging. I have taken the liberty of backporting the patch to e2fsprogs-1.42.13-1 below. I realize that upstream has not had time to process this yet and that upstream and downstream are the same for e2fsprogs in Debian, but my collegues insisted that I file issues with major distributions to request this patch be backported anyway. If I should have waited for a solution to be merged upstream, please let me know so that I can pass that information on to my collegues. diff --git a/misc/util.c b/misc/util.c index 40c8858..7f413ee 100644 --- a/misc/util.c +++ b/misc/util.c @@ -18,9 +18,6 @@ #ifdef HAVE_ERRNO_H #include <errno.h> #endif -#ifdef HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H -#include <linux/major.h> -#endif #ifdef HAVE_SYS_STAT_H #include <sys/stat.h> #endif @@ -104,36 +101,6 @@ void check_plausibility(const char *device) proceed_question(); return; } - -#ifdef HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H -#ifndef MAJOR -#define MAJOR(dev) ((dev)>>8) -#define MINOR(dev) ((dev) & 0xff) -#endif -#ifndef SCSI_BLK_MAJOR -#ifdef SCSI_DISK0_MAJOR -#ifdef SCSI_DISK8_MAJOR -#define SCSI_DISK_MAJOR(M) ((M) == SCSI_DISK0_MAJOR || \ - ((M) >= SCSI_DISK1_MAJOR && (M) <= SCSI_DISK7_MAJOR) || \ - ((M) >= SCSI_DISK8_MAJOR && (M) <= SCSI_DISK15_MAJOR)) -#else -#define SCSI_DISK_MAJOR(M) ((M) == SCSI_DISK0_MAJOR || \ - ((M) >= SCSI_DISK1_MAJOR && (M) <= SCSI_DISK7_MAJOR)) -#endif /* defined(SCSI_DISK8_MAJOR) */ -#define SCSI_BLK_MAJOR(M) (SCSI_DISK_MAJOR((M)) || (M) == SCSI_CDROM_MAJOR) -#else -#define SCSI_BLK_MAJOR(M) ((M) == SCSI_DISK_MAJOR || (M) == SCSI_CDROM_MAJOR) -#endif /* defined(SCSI_DISK0_MAJOR) */ -#endif /* defined(SCSI_BLK_MAJOR) */ - if (((MAJOR(s.st_rdev) == HD_MAJOR && - MINOR(s.st_rdev)%64 == 0) || - (SCSI_BLK_MAJOR(MAJOR(s.st_rdev)) && - MINOR(s.st_rdev)%16 == 0))) { - printf(_("%s is entire device, not just one partition!\n"), - device); - proceed_question(); - } -#endif } void check_mount(const char *device, int force, const char *type) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
