Package: parted Version: 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-3 Forwarded: http://parted.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/192 Tags: upstream
Hi, This is a duplicate of a genuine GNU Parted ticket, as per fjp's request on debian-boot. The version is somewhat fake, this issue was found in a fresh pull on 2008.04.22, but I wanted to target the current experimental version. Here we go: Seems like 1.8.8 can't open ramdisks anymore, probably due to the use of O_DIRECT. Not doing make install but running from the build tree: # strace -eopen ~/installcd/parted/parted/parted /dev/ram1 print [...] open("/dev/ram1", O_RDONLY|O_DIRECT|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) Error: Error opening /dev/ram1: Invalid argument Retry/Cancel? Version 1.7.1 has no problem opening this device. Strace shows: open("/dev/ram1", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 Working with a ramdisk would be useful for testing. The above happens under Linux 2.6.24.2, but an otherwise rather stock Etch system. -- Thanks, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
