Description Bob Miller 2005-07-08 00:11:09 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko)

Description of problem:
The code for BLKRRPART ioctl was changed to return -EIO when no partitions 
were found.  THis breaks some partitioning programs.  The attached patch fixes 
the problem.  The patch was accepted into the mainline linux kernel 2.6.10. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the disk with a partitioning program that doesn't support -EIO as an 
answer. 
2. 
3.
