Bug#1025568: gparted: diff for NMU version 1.3.1-1.1

I think something changed in 1.5 that made it require a file that moved
to this package in trixie, so I had to add it to get it to build.

Sorry for the late reply.  I would have said cancel it but it looks like
it already went through.  It sounds like it shouldn't hurt for me to
just upload my build though, so I'll do that now that I sorted out my
new signing subkey.

I have an upload of 1.5 pending my sorting my gpg key out again.  Could
you submit any changes as a PR on salsa?  I think I saw someone had done
that for some minor issues ( was that you? ) but the CI failed.

Just wanted to note in this copy of the bug that the recommendation from
upstream systemd was that gparted should not be masking mounts but
instead should take a bsd lock on the device to prevent auto mounts.

For the last 3 decades, it has not been a problem since every disk
partitioner has worked this way.  I have sen a few bug reports about
this recently though, and the others have reported using something
called Easeus disk partitioning software.  Have you used this?  It
would be good to confirm this is the source of the problem and I'll
see if I can't fix parted to handle it.

The entire community would appreciate it if you would stop closing
valid, or likely valid bug reports without a good explanation.

The only thing you have suggested thus far ( after closing the bug
several times ) that is even a possible candidate for a legitimate
reason to do so is the use of policykit-1 from experimental with an
otherwise sid based system.  Until this has been confirmed, or unless
it is a known error that you can be reasonably confident is the case,
and you clearly describe that is what the user has done wrong, it is
inappropriate to dismissively close the bug report out of hand.

That said, I have managed to test your hypothesis and confirmed that
indeed, this does result from doing what you suggest, and that is why
I will no longer reopen this bug report.  It is now up to Shirish to
deny that he did install policykit-1 from experimental on an otherwise
unstable/testing system and if not, reopen the bug.  Coming to this
conclusion should not have taken several rounds of closing and
reopening the bug, but rather is something you should have clearly
spelled out when closing the bug in the first place so that Shrish
could have simply said "oh yea, my bad" and let the matter rest,
rather than contacting me privately wondering why his report had been
summarily dismissed.  Please bear this in mind when closing bug
reports in the future so that such confusion can be avoided.

That is entirely incorrect; you can not just close a bug and expect
the user to try again and do better without knowing what is wrong.  If
there is something wrong, you fix it.  If the title is wrong, you
retitle it.  If you disagree with the severity, then change it.  If it
is assigned to the wrong package, you reassign it.

That is a good thing to ask the user to check rather than assume and
close.

Closing is not appropriate.  If udisks2 functions except for
udisks2-inhibit, then gparted needs the hard depends on policykit-1.
Are you saying that the only thing udisks2 needs policykit-1 for is
inhibit?  I would think it needs it for everything.

Then the reason for closing is certainly incorrect.  Maybe the real
problem is not policykit-1 then but something unknown?

Bug#778712: libparted2: Breakage of RAID GPT header

2015-02-20 Thread Phillip Susi
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

On 2/19/2015 2:24 PM, jnqnfe wrote:
 Firstly, I am not running fdisk or parted on the raw member disks,
 I am simply running generic 'fdisk -l' and 'parted -l' commands,
 which return information about all disks. To simplify matters I
 removed information about other disks in my system from the output
 I supplied, leaving only that pertaining to the array and array
 member disks.

You did not; the output you supplied listed both sda and sdb.

 I disagree that the problems reported against the member disks
 should just be ignored.
 
 Why does parted think and report that one of the member disks has 
 corrupt GPT tables? 1) The array was setup with 16KB block
 striping, which is surely plenty to contain the entire MBR block
 and primary GPT table within the one member disk; so it's not like
 this results from part of the GPT header being on one disk and the
 rest on another, which otherwise would understandably result in
 such an error. Unless I am wrong and this is happening, why does
 parted think there is a corruption?

The GPT is 16 KiB but starts on sector 2, hence the last 2 sectors
fall onto the second disk.

 2) Why is parted examining GPT headers of member disks at all? It
 should recognise that these disks are members of a RAID array and
 thus skip looking for and reading partition headers on it,
 otherwise it just results in confusion for the user (and
 potentially other issues if it changes anything). Parted's
 behaviour should be changed here accordingly to skip seeking this
 information on array members.

Because parted does not know anything about raid.  I suppose it might
be nice if it could detect it and ignore those drives, but doing so
would require adding a dependency on udev or blkid.  I'll mull the
idea over.

 Furthermore, if you look at the fdisk output I supplied, you
 should notice that when I created the partition table with fdisk,
 everything was initially fine; no 'dev/sdb1' device exists (see
 fdisk4). However after running 'parted -l' to see what parted makes
 of the result of using fdisk, and then re-running 'fdisk -l' (I
 just happened to do so to be certain everything was fine, and found
 to my surprise it was not), you can see that now all of a sudden a
 /dev/sdb1' device exists.

sdb1 shows up in fdisk2.

 The 'GPT PMBR size mismatch' error reported by fdisk is related to
 this device, which per its name is apparently a sub-component of
 one of the array member disks, but I did not create any partition,
 and this device does not appear in lsblk output. So where does this
 'sdb1' device come from? As just stated, it does not exist after
 purely creating the partition table with fdisk, but it does
 suddenly exist after running

The moment you created the GPT table on the raid array, it included
the protective MBR partition, and that is what fdisk is reporting
since the GPT is corrupt ( when viewed through the lens of the single
disk ).  lsblk uses the blkid database which does recognize that the
disks are array components and filters them out.

 What? I very carefully went through every one of them before
 sending to ensure that only information about the array (md126) and
 the array members (sdb and sdc) were included. I have just checked
 back over every one of those files attached to the original bug
 report and none of them contain any info about sda.

I'm sorry; I misread what you said.  I thought you said you had
removed the information about the individual disks that were members
of the array.

 sdb1 shows up in fdisk2.
 
 Yes, but please review the initial bug report for when I created
 each of the output files. I ran three tests using different tools
 to create the GPT headers, first with gparted, then with parted,
 then with fdisk. Before each test I deleted and recreated the RAID
 array to try and achieve a fresh start (which checking fdisk and
 parted info after doing so confirmed was a successful means of
 resetting things). Files fdisk1 and parted1 demonstrate the state
 of things directly after recreating the RAID array, without yet
 attempting to write the partition table.

Yes, at this point the disk is blank.

 So, fdisk2 and parted2 show the state of things after using gparted
 to write a GPT table to the array, and thus this phantom sdb1
 device exists, which fdisk doesn't like.

At this point the array contains a protective MBR that lists one
partition of type ee that occupies the whole array.  Fdisk looks at
sdb and sees the same thing.  Following the MBR is the GPT, part of
which is missing from sdb, so fdisk treats it as corrupt, and falls
back to printing only the MBR.

 So the phantom sdb1 device was not there when only fdisk was used 
 (fdisk4), but does appear after using parted, whether using parted
 to create the partition table (fdisk 2, fdisk3), or as in the last
 test, only to view information (parted -l) after using fdisk
 (fdisk5).

I see now.  I think you are running into a cache aliasing issue here.
 That is to say, that the MBR of sdb was read into the cache while the
drive was still blank, and when parted creates the gpt on the array,
it does in fact create that protective mbr partition, but fdisk does
not see it on sdb yet, since it is still holding the cached data from
earlier.  Note that at this point fdisk reports that there is no
partition table of any kind, not just no sdb1.  If you run blockdev
- --flushbufs and then repeat the fdisk -l, sdb1 should show up.

 Okay, I am aware that a protective MBR may be written alongside the
 GPT tables and that the protective MBR may contain a partition
 entry covering the entire disk. So you're suggesting that this may
 be what this phantom sdb1 device is? Interesting.

Yes, that is exactly what sdb1 is.  You can see from the ID field
being ee.

 But, what is the explanation for it not appearing in fdisk ouput
 after using fdisk to create the GPT tables in test #3? And
 furthermore what is the explanation for it then suddenly appearing
 after then running 'parted -l'? And if that is the case then that
 would imply that fdisk also may not be properly paying attention to
 the fact that these are array members.

parted flushes the disk cache when opening it to make sure that it is
reading the correct data.  After that, fdisk also now sees it.

 If fdisk is setting the protective MBR partition to the size of a
 member disk, rather than the size of the array, that would explain
 the fdisk error not showing up after using fdisk to create the
 partition tables. And if parted is doing the opposite, setting the
 array size here, that would explain the presence of the error in
 fdisk output after using parted to do it. Which if so, begs the
 question, which is right? Should fdisk be changed to use the array
 size (alongside paying proper attention to array membership of
 course), or should parted be using the disk size?

Both of them are using the size of the array, which they should since
that is the disk as far as they are concerned.

 sdb and sdc are the RAID members here and the RAID device is

Then you need to only manipulate md126 and ignore sdb and sdc.  Most
of what you seem to be reporting involves looking directly at the
individual disks, which you must not do as that will present a
partial/corrupt view of the raid array.  In other words, if the first
few sectors of the raid array map to sdb, then sdb will appear to have
a partition table in its sector 0 that describes a disk that is twice
the size, since this partition table is actually describing the raid
array and not the individual disk.

The one thing you mention that I can't write off as user error is but
parted is not and seems to be forcibly applying what it believes to be
correct (ignoring the fact that it was only asked to display info, not
modify anything).  Can you provide more details here?  Exactly what
command did you run and what changed before vs. after?  Parted should
not be modifying anything on the disk unless you tell it to.  Normally
it will throw a warning telling you something is wrong with the disk
and ask if you want it to fix it and you have to answer fix for it
to modify the disk.

 I am not doing anything at all to the member disks, I am only 
 manipulating the array (mb126) and providing the ouput of fsdisk -l
 / parted -l (with unnecessary info about other disks removed).

All of the error messages shown in the logs you sent so far involve
the raw disks ( sdb, etc ) rather than the raid array.  You certainly
should not be running fdisk or parted on the raw disk, and responding
to the error messages by saying it should fix the problem ( since the
problem is only a result of looking at an individual disk instead of
the whole array ).

 The one thing you mention that I can't write off as user error is
 but parted is not and seems to be forcibly applying what it
 believes to be correct (ignoring the fact that it was only asked

 I did only exactly as described in my previous message, nothing
 more, nothing less.

You stated that parted modified the disk when you didn't tell it to,
but did not show exactly what command you gave that lead to this, and
more importantly, what if any, error messages parted threw and how you
responded to them.

I don't quite understand what's happening in this bug.  How do we get
from calling update-initramfs to an error trying to execute
update-initramfs.orig.initramfs-tools instead?

For that matter, instead of directly executing update-initramfs,
shouldn't we be using a dpkg trigger?

Umm... it seems to me that if you open your disk O_RDWR, for instance,
to update your boot loader, while you have a partition on the disk
mounted, and the kernel destroys an actively mounted partition device,
then the kernel is very, very broken...

As for the performance implications, yes, parted should not be using
O_RDWR when it do doesn't need it and does take care not to on linux.

I believe this is caused by the loop label changes I backported, which
