Subject: /proc/partitions broken in 2.5.23
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 10:02:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020619090248.GA8681@suse.de> (raw)
I got a bug report about an issue with LVM in 2.5.22-dj1, which turns
out to be caused by broken /proc/partitions in mainline.
(davej@mesh:davej)$ cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
8 0 0 sda
22 0 1515870810 hdc
22 64 1515870810 hdd
3 0 29316672 hda
3 1 117400 hda1
3 2 1 hda2
3 5 999904 hda5
3 6 1499872 hda6
3 7 683392 hda7
3 8 26015944 hda8
3 64 1515870810 hdb
Note the huge numbers in hex are 0x5a5a5a5a, so something
seems to be getting poisoned somewhere.
Also, should partitions with 0 blocks be showing up ?
I don't recall that happening with the old-style 2.4 code.
Dave
