[Bug 1104797] Re: partprobe silently fails where blockdev --rereadpt succeeds
I am unable to reproduce this. How did you remove the partition from the drive in the first place, and what partition table is it using? ** Changed in: parted (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104797 Title: partprobe silently fails where blockdev --rereadpt succeeds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/1104797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I securely erased the drive's entire data with shred. i.e.: sudo shred /dev/sdd So after this there was no longer a partition table at all. (Prior to this, it was a DOS partition table.) ** Changed in: parted (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104797 Title: partprobe silently fails where blockdev --rereadpt succeeds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/1104797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1104797] Re: partprobe silently fails where blockdev --rereadpt succeeds
Ahh, then this is intentional. partprobe refuses to act if it can not recognize any partition table. Either remove the partition before shreding, or add a new but empty partition table after, or use the lower level delpart command. ** Changed in: parted (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104797 Title: partprobe silently fails where blockdev --rereadpt succeeds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/1104797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1104797] Re: partprobe silently fails where blockdev --rereadpt succeeds
Gotcha. Refusing to act makes sense. However, exiting without any error seems like a valid bug to me. ** Changed in: parted (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New ** Summary changed: - partprobe silently fails where blockdev --rereadpt succeeds + If partprobe does not find a partition table, it refuses to act but does not report an error -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104797 Title: If partprobe does not find a partition table, it refuses to act but does not report an error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/1104797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
