Thank you Phillip for indicating that "Libparted now directly supports dmraid devices and handles the dev node creation".
And also thank you Danny for saying that "When gparted tries to format my devices that end in a letter kpartx has renamed these to XXXp1". This behaviour Danny mentioned seemed really odd to me so I decided to do some testing myself. Following is a description of my testing: Immediately after booting from a Live CD of Ubuntu 10.04, the /dev/mapper directory contained the following entries: control isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol0 isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol01 isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol02 isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol03 Next I used parted (not GParted) to create another primary partition. After exiting parted the /dev/mapper directory contained the following entries: control isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol0 isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol0p1 isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol0p2 isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol0p3 isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol0p4 Based on this I can see that significant changes in behaviour have occurred with dmraid devices and parted from the Ubuntu 10.04 CD. Not only were new device entries created that match the rule of thumb for naming partitions, but the previous partition names as normally created by dmraid, were missing. Since kpartx was used, I can only assume that parted or some other subsystem is responsible for the change in partition names. I'll bet that these discrepancies in behaviour are causing some confusion for people using dmraid devices and parted/gparted. -- Gparted does not list dmraid devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554582 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
