If the partition is formatted, we should show it properly as VFAT -- if you run parted on the drive in question, what filesystem type does it show for the partition? Created attachment 31216 [details]
Hex dump of first 3 disk blocks
The EFI tool 'dskpartx' shows both partitions as type EFISYS. Parted shows no filesystem information for the system partition. Mounting the partition as type "vfat" works seamlessly. Matt -- looks like a parted problem to me. please dd if=/dev/whatever of=boot-raw bs=512 count=3 and attach it as a octet stream. Created attachment 31254 [details]
Binary dump of first 3 blocks
Sorry, I need at least 40 sectors... (I forgot how big gpt partition tables are..) Created attachment 31416 [details]
dd dump of 40 blocks
Here is the output of the parted 'print' command: Using /dev/sdb (parted) print Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0.000-17510.443 megabytes Disk label type: GPT Minor Start End Filesystem Name Flags 1 0.017 175.016 EFISYSPART boot, lba 2 175.017 275.016 FAT boot, lba 3 275.017 2275.016 linux-swap lba 4 2275.017 17509.122 ext3 lba Partition 1 is the System partition created with 'spadmin'. Partition 2 is the partition created during RedHat install. Could you please do: dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=sdb1 bs=1024k bzip2 -9 sdb1 and attach that? Hmm - I guess I better run parted in a debugger myself. Just tell me what I should be looking for, and give me a few days. build with debugging support and break in ped_file_system_probe. You'll be able to step in each registered filesystem probe function. If more than one probe succeeds (if the partition has more than one filesystem magic), it falls back to _probe_with_open. be sure to break in fat_probe to see why it's failing there. Closing due to inactivity. Closing due to inactivity - please reopen if you have additional comments to add to this bug. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
