Even more strangeness: 
lenny GNU Fdisk 1.2.1 writes a partition which another etch machine
can see (util-fdisk):

   8   1128891620 sdh
   8   1137815622 sdh1
   8   1141068322 sdh2
   8   1158883945 sdh3

But when booting the lenny machine with that disk as sole disk
the partition goes away:

[  100.144792] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 17783240 512-byte hardware sectors (9105 MB)
[  100.228140] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
[  100.286532] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, 
supports DPO and FUA
[  100.387682]  sda: sda1 sda3
[  100.429180] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk

And the etch machines util-fdisk indeed shows the same. As the boot above
did stuck in the initramfs who the hell changed the (probably
broken) partion table ?
silo ? or the kernel 2.6.28x ?

Thanks for any ideas,
  Hermann

Partitioning strangeness with sun disk labels in lenny

2009-05-29 Thread Hermann Lauer 
Hello,

partitioning disk with sun labels seems to be broken in lenny,
after a reboot the new partions are not visible. util-linux fdisk is
also unhappy with the disk label, see attached output below.

Only the last output of "cat /proc/partions" is after reboot,
the other three are after the addition of /dev/sda2 with cfdisk.


Which of the partioning tools should work ?

Thanks,
  Hermann
