Fixed In Version: util-linux-2.23.2-25.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
* The libblkid library was incorrectly evaluating internal return codes from probing functions, which caused blkid to ignore some partition types such as Sun disk label. With this update, libblkid evaluates return codes correctly and blkid provides information about all valid partitions.

Comment 1 Ben Marzinski 2015-08-06 19:47:29 UTC 
This clone is for dealing with

# blkid -po udev /dev/sdX

not returning anything for some partitions.
Comment 3 Karel Zak 2015-08-11 12:17:18 UTC 
I'm able to reproduce the problem on scsi_debug with sun label.

Device      Start     End Sectors   Size Id Type         Flags
/dev/sdc1       0  920753  920754 449.6M 83 Linux native      
/dev/sdc2  920754 1023059  102306    50M 82 Linux swap      u 
/dev/sdc3       0 1023059 1023060 499.6M  5 Whole disk        

fedora 22:

# blkid -po udev /dev/sdc2
ID_PART_ENTRY_SCHEME=sun
ID_PART_ENTRY_TYPE=0x82
ID_PART_ENTRY_FLAGS=0x1
ID_PART_ENTRY_NUMBER=2
ID_PART_ENTRY_OFFSET=920754

# blkid -po udev /dev/sdc2
<nothing>
