Package: kpartx Version: 0.6.1-3 Severity: normal Hi
Since the 0.6.1-* version of kpartx, the '-d' option does not work anymore. Simple test case: # add loopdevice and partition mappings, freedos.raw is here a disk image kpartx -av freedos.raw add map loop0p1 (253:0): 0 262017 linear 7:0 63 # ask kpartx to detach the loop device kpartx -d freedos.raw # but the loop device is still there file --special-files --dereference /dev/loop0 /dev/loop0: DOS/MBR boot sector; partition 1 : ID=0xe, active, start-CHS (0x0,1,1), end-CHS (0x13,15,63), startsector 63, 262017 sectors losetup --list NAME SIZELIMIT OFFSET AUTOCLEAR RO BACK-FILE DIO /dev/loop0 0 0 0 0 /home/manu/Projects/emul/i386/kvm/freedos.raw fortunately it is possible to detach manually the loop device with losetup --detach /dev/loop0 -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages kpartx depends on: ii dmsetup 2:1.02.124-1 ii libc6 2.22-11 ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.124-1 ii udev 230-2 kpartx recommends no packages. kpartx suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
