Hi Curtis, Thankyou for looking into my patch. I dont have kpartx installed on my system at the moment but the changes listed in the ppa package are just the diffs from the previous ppa version which still had a kpartx dependency. (I have actually commented all the kpartx calls out). Its not meant to be a proper patch it was merely testing.
I will try and re describe the error I get in gparted as I realise my first description was confusing. On my system I have a jmicron controller with several partitions: jmicron_HD2 jmicron_HD21 jmicron_HD25 jmicron_HD26 On the live CD when I try to say format partition 6 from within Gparted I get an error because it passes the above "jmicron_HD26" to mkfs when in fact the partition names have been changed by kpartx to be "jmicron_HD2p6" the ls /dev/mapper now looks like this: jmicron_HD2 jmicron_HD2p1 jmicron_HD2p5 jmicron_HD2p6 After removing the kpartx calls Gparted functions correctly and the partition names remain the same as in the first instance. I think there must be a bug with naming within the dmraid.cc file which doesn't pass on the partition name changes from kpartx. This is a separate bug to the one we are discussing so I will open a new bug report when I get some time. Though from my testing I think it indicates that kpartx isn't actually required as it handles new partition creation and formating just fine once it is removed. -- 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
