Bug#602568: squeeze-di-beta1 installer: partman hang
In http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.parted.bugs/10180 Jim Meyering provided a patch that solve the problem. After verification, he commited it into git://git.debian.org/git/parted/parted.git: commit 9f5b0608611eed40ef33be2096f5d482710602e5 Author: Jim Meyering meyer...@redhat.com Date: Tue Nov 9 10:25:36 2010 +0100 dos: fix a bug affecting very small devices (smaller than 1 cylinder) This bug was introduced in commit c79d91ec, dos: accommodate very small devices (useful for testing). * libparted/labels/dos.c (_primary_constraint): The bug was to skip setting start_geom for small devices. That led to a used- uninitialized bug in the subsequent ped_constraint_new call. The fix is to relax the constraint to use a starting sector of 1, if necessary. Report and diagnosis by Jean-Christian de Rivaz in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.parted.bugs/10178 * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Many thanks to Jim for this patch. Debian installer should use this last revision to fix this problem. It it worth noting that partman is still deficient in the way it handle a parted-server error. Improving it will certainly help to get better problem report from Debian users. I have see on the internet others installer report about hang at the same partman operation time. Also, the debian/rules for parted still should be updated with my proposed patch to remove obsoletes directives. So even if the primary cause is now fixed, from a quality view, this bug is still not in the state to be closed. Or should other bug be opened for those point ?

It seem that the only maintained source archive for GNU parted is
git://git.debian.org/git/parted/parted.git . Right ?
I managed to find that the bug was introduced by this commit:
commit c79d91ec71882a1673daae0482aa90c514c63cc1
Author: Jim Meyering meyer...@redhat.com

device_length to ped_geometry_init when the underlying device
has fewer sectors than a cylinder.

return NULL;
I posted a message on the bug-par...@gnu.org, but it seem that there is
not a lot of developers on it, so I don't expect this will be handled
anytime soon.
The only basic idea I have right now, is to add a -t option to force
to not call ped_geometry_init (start_geom, ...) if cylinder_size
dev-length when using parted with a memory-mapped device for testing
purpose. There is maybe a better logic to handle all of that, but I
don't know this code good enough to see it. Where can I find a test case
with a memory-mapped device that needed this commit ?

Bug#602568: squeeze-di-beta1 installer: partman hang
I finally found the parted_servec.c into
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/partman-base . I think the problem is
in the OPEN command path for /dev/sdb:
void
command_open()
{
log(command_open()); === found in the log
char *device;
scan_device_name();
if (1 != iscanf(%as, device))
critical_error(Expected device name.);
log(Request to open %s, device_name); === in the log
open_out();
if (device_opened(device_name)) {
static char *only_ok[] = { OK, NULL };
log(Warning: the device is already opened);
pseudo_exception(Warning,
The device is already opened., only_ok);
} else {
set_device_named(device_name, ped_device_get(device));
}
oprintf(OK\n); === In the log too
if (NULL != device_named(device_name)) {
oprintf(OK\n); === Last line from the log
deactivate_exception_handler();
set_disk_named(device_name,
ped_disk_new(device_named(device_name)));
unchange_named(device_name);
activate_exception_handler();
} else
oprintf(failed\n);
free(device);
}
So I now suspect that the function ped_disk_new() is where parted_server
failed. But it's actually just a beat, not a proven fact.
I have see that in the install expert mode that parted can be loaded as
a additional component, so I did and give it a try:
parted /dev/sda print
Model: ATA ST9250315AS (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 250GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

5 55.1GB 109GB 53.7GB logical btrfs
2 250GB 250GB 21.2MB primary
Seem to be OK, despite the btrfs partition. Now with /dev/sdb:
parted /dev/sdb print
You found a bug in GNU Parted! Here's what you have to do:
Don't panic! The bug has most likely not affected any of your data.
Help us to fix this bug by doing the following:
Check whether the bug has already been fixed by checking
the last version of GNU Parted that you can find at:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/
Please check this version prior to bug reporting.
If this has not been fixed yet or if you don't know how to check,
please visit the GNU Parted website:
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted
for further information.
Your report should contain the version of this release (2.3)
along with the error message below, the output of
parted DEVICE unit co print unit s print
and the following history of commands you entered.
Also include any additional information about your setup you
consider important.
Assertion (dev != NULL) at ../../libparted/cs/geom.c:78 in function
ped_geometry_new() failed.
Ah! It's now clear that this is the 5MB FAT12 partition on /dev/sdb that
cause the problem. I think that the bug can now safely be assigned to
either parted or libparted0-udeb.
Here is the offending code:
/**
* Create a new PedGeometry object on \p disk, starting at \p start with a
* size of \p length sectors.
*
* \return NULL on failure.
*/
PedGeometry*
ped_geometry_new (const PedDevice* dev, PedSector start, PedSector length)
{
PedGeometry*geom;
PED_ASSERT (dev != NULL, return NULL); === Abort here.
geom = (PedGeometry*) ped_malloc (sizeof (PedGeometry));
if (!geom)
goto error;
if (!ped_geometry_init (geom, dev, start, length))
goto error_free_geom;
return geom;
error_free_geom:
free (geom);
error:
return NULL;
}
Obviously, this problem is not really into ped_geometry_new(), but into
a previously executed code that should have created the const PedDevice*
dev.
Now, is parted abort with a so clear assert message, this don't explain
why parted_server can terminate without generating a comparable message,
and why 30parted is unable to see that parted_server is not there
anymore. So maybe some more bugs should be open to fix all of this.

Jean-Christian de Rivaz

Bug#602568: squeeze-di-beta1 installer: partman hang
Can't easily find what's wrong into the parted-2.3/libparted code. But GNU Parted 1.8.8 from a Lenny machine work on this disk: parted /dev/sdb print Error: Can't have the end before the start! Model: disk2go PURE II (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 5243kB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End SizeType File system Flags 1 32.8kB 5243kB 5210kB primary fat16 The problem maybe cam from the message Can't have the end before the start!. Also this version of parted say this is a FAT16 partition, but fdisk say this is a FAT12: fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 5 MB, 5242880 bytes 256 heads, 32 sectors/track, 1 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8192 * 512 = 4194304 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 250881 FAT12 Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(40, 255, 32) logical=(1, 63, 32) It also say that something is wrong with the geometry of this partition. I then do a new partition on the /dev/sdb: Disk /dev/sdb: 5 MB, 5242880 bytes 256 heads, 32 sectors/track, 1 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8192 * 512 = 4194304 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 140801 FAT12 The parted from Lenny is still not happy: parted /dev/sdb print Error: Can't have the end before the start!

After that I tryed to use a FAT16 partition: Disk /dev/sdb: 5 MB, 5242880 bytes 256 heads, 32 sectors/track, 1 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8192 * 512 = 4194304 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 140806 FAT16 But still, the parted from the installed abort with the same message. At this point, I am a bit confused: why the parted from the Squeeze installer get so ill with this 5MB disk despite the fact that others tools and previous parted version handle it correctly. Finally I removed the partition from that /dev/sdb disk and the installed worked. Ah! So the bug seem to be related to a unusual geometry of that disk.

Bug#602568: squeeze-di-beta1 installer: partman hang
Now Squeeze is installed into the notepad and I can test the parted 2.3-3 that is available from it. No problem without partition of course, bt the surprise is that it also have no issue with a FAT12 partition: fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 5 MB, 5242880 bytes 1 heads, 10 sectors/track, 1024 cylinders Units = cylinders of 10 * 512 = 5120 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 2102451151 FAT12 parted /dev/sdb print Model: disk2go PURE II (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 5243kB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End SizeType File system Flags 1 5120B 5243kB 5238kB primary But from http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libparted0-udeb it seem that this is this 2.3-3 version that is used into the installer. I feel lost in doubt. I rebooted and restarted the installer, only to find that his parted still abort the same way. Now the question is why the parted from the installer react so bad to something that do not hurt the parted from squeeze, since there should be compiled from the same code base ? Or is there something missing in the picture ? Jean-Christian de Rivaz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

But unfortunately this is not the cause of my problem. After a lot of test with different config.status file, I found this picture by testing only the build-udeb: library fail with CFLAGS=' -Werror' library fail with CFLAGS='-g -Werror' library good with CFLAGS='-g -O2 -Werror' library good with CFLAGS='-O2 -Werror' Something wrong without the -O2 optimization ? Seem incredible. But... I just want to check: library good in build-deb with CFLAGS='-g -O2 -fgnu89-inline -Werror' library good in build-udeb with CFLAGS='-O2 -fgnu89-inline -Werror' library fail in build-deb with CFLAGS='-g -fgnu89-inline -Werror' library fail in build-udeb with CFLAGS='-fgnu89-inline -Werror' Ouch! It better to use the -O2 optimizer ! Ok, now at this stage I can give some facts: 1) The lib/partman/init.d/30parted script is unable to detect and report abnormal parted-server end. 2) The CFLAGS -fgnu89-inline option from the bug #442308 can be removed for the current version of parted-2.3-3 3) Something bad happen with the parted-2.3-3 code when the -O2 optimization is not used. Enough for me. Please, someone from Debian, give me some instruction of what action must be taken now. Should I open others bugs report for 1) and 2) ?

Bug#602568: squeeze-di-beta1 installer: partman hang
Please find in attachment my current proposition of patch. It remove the
obsolete -fgnu89-inline and use the same flags for build-udeb than for
build-deb to get the -O2 optimization.
This work, but I still don't understand why the code fail without
optimization.
