Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
Since upgrading from Edgy Eft to Feisty Fawn I have been unable to
automount my external USB 250Gb SEAGATE harddrive.
I've been subscribed to a number of bugs on related problems, but not seen a
solution. This weekend I tried Gutsy, and still no joy so I decided to dig
deeper.
(I've posted some of the following to 102097, but I thought it might be clearer
as a separate report.)
The problem boils down to vol_id not recognising the partition as VFAT. I've
looked at the source code, and I think the problem is in
udev-113/extras/volume_id/lib/fat.c at around line 328:
/* sector size check */
sector_size = le16_to_cpu(vs->sector_size);
if (sector_size != 0x200 && sector_size != 0x400 &&
sector_size != 0x800 && sector_size != 0x1000)
return -1;
Dumping out the header for the partition, I calculate that the
sector_size on the partition is 0x2000 - which means that the partition
is rejected on the FAT* checks.
Any chance of a fix? Pretty please?
