ChangeBlog: Devlabel 0.42.05
Devlabel 0.42.05 is available (tarball or RPM): * Added a work-around for devices with bad partition tables. For example, on USB floppy devices containing floppy disks marked as bootable, linux currently errantly reports that the device has 4 partitions even though it does not. Devlabel was probing these bad partitions for UUIDs and this was causing kernel I/O errors. The work-around tells devlabel to ignore partitions which come from devices with messed up partition tables. There's actually a little bit of irony surrounding this, as I had been tasked to root cause I/O errors in Red Hat's latest beta, only to find out it was my own software which was exacerbating this problem. Of course, if the kernel reported partitions correctly, this would never have reared its face. Still humorous though. |
