Description Hans de Goede 2010-09-17 13:41:09 UTC

Hi,

First of all, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629719#c30

Also I'm wondering if the new code will work properly with > 15 partitions, this should be tested. Thinking about this the use of blkext majors rather then the main disk major for partitions (which the kernel does for partitions > 15 on scsi disks and for any and all md partitions), might be the cause of the mdraid partition issues.

Regards,

Hans

I tested this with the 18-partitions-on-a-USB case, and it works great: no error messages, partitions show up immediately in /proc/partitions and ls /dev/sd* . Thanks Hans. If someone could test the mdraid case that initially exposed the bug, that would be great.

dlehman tested it on the mnraid system and said it worked fine.
