[Touch-packages] [Bug 1531404] Re: nonexistent partition in /dev, & lsblk/disk util misbehaving with randomized disks
I've got this problem too, for one drive. I'm using a LUKS2 header, containing an encrypted BTRFS filesystem that spans the whole drive (without any partition table). I've got this same setup on thre drives, one of them "dreams up" two AHDI partitions that I can see in lsblk. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1531404 Title: nonexistent partition in /dev, & lsblk/disk util misbehaving with randomized disks Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: I have two 2T disks with no partition table and which have been filled with random data.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1531404] Re: nonexistent partition in /dev, & lsblk/disk util misbehaving with randomized disks
Phillip, the Atari Partition Table spec is located here:
http://drac030.krap.pl/APT_spec.pdf
You will notice that the header entry (bottom of p.2 to top of p.3) has
a signature at offset 1 ("APT"). It also has a sanity check at offset
5. In addition, each partition entry points to both the previous and
next entry. There are clearly sufficient tests here to see if there is
really an Atari Partition Table present or not.
I have filled six 2T disks, each with different random data, and I'm
always getting the same result. There is no way this is happening
randomly.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1531404] Re: nonexistent partition in /dev, & lsblk/disk util misbehaving with randomized disks
The kernel code is looking for: 1) Each partition has the 1 bit set in its flags byte 2) Each partition's ID bytes are all ascii numbers 3) Each partition starts and ends within the bounds of the disk When these conditions are met, it sets up the partitions and states that the partition table type is "AHDI", which your syslog shows, so as unlikely as this seems, it must have happened.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1531404] Re: nonexistent partition in /dev, & lsblk/disk util misbehaving with randomized disks
Prompted by a chat on #ubuntu-bugs, I'll point this out: (1) Since an MBR has a signature at the end, 0x55AA, then what we're seeing should not be happening. It's possible in all but 1 in 65536 cases to definitively identify that there is no partition table on the disk. (2) Even in that small chance that the signature is there "randomly" (on a random filled disk), partition entries would also show up randomly. They would not show up specifically at 181GB into the disk. Therefore, something that we shouldn't expect is going on here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1531404 Title: nonexistent partition in /dev, & lsblk/disk util misbehaving with randomized disks Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have two 2T disks with no partition table and which have been filled with random data.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1531404] Re: nonexistent partition in /dev, & lsblk/disk util misbehaving with randomized disks
Yes, I have rebooted many times. Right now, I'm using them in a working
system. What's more, I have two systems prepared similarly, one with
raid and one without, and they are showing exactly the same problem.
Here, have a look at one of these systems (raid). All the disks
sd{a,b,c} are random filled with no luks header. They are mounted with
an external header. sd{a,b} contain root/home and sdc (not mounted) is
just data.

In addition to searching for /dev/sd{a,b,c}, you can also search for the
word "truncate" in there.
