It seems that this is fixed by upstream changes, by the commit below: commit ac0d86f5809598ddcd6bfa0ea8245ccc910e9eac Author: Kay Sievers Date: Wed Oct 15 22:04:21 2008 -0700 block: sanitize invalid partition table entries This was included in v2.6.38 and later kernels.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately.] This bug was flagged as having a patch attached. The Ubuntu Kernel Team's preferred policy is for all patches to be submitted and accepted into the upstream kernel before agreeing to merge them into the Ubuntu kernel. The goal for the Ubuntu kernel is to have little to no divergence from the upstream linux kernel source. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelPatches has been written to document the suggested policy and procedures for helping get a patch merged upstream and subsequently into the Ubuntu kernel. Please take the time to review that wiki if this patch should be considered for inclusion into the upstream and Ubuntu kernel. Let us know if you have any questions or need any help via the Ubuntu Kernel Team mailing list.

Compiled from git - oh *grins* ... there are mainline kernels available as packages: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ "Write Protect is off" is a drive status message and the expected value - if you want to actually write data to the drives at some point :) The messages are expected since at the point the disks are scanned dmraid hasn't loaded and so the 'plain' disks do appear to have problems. One thing that interests me is the "sdd: p1 size 1250258562 limited to end of disk" because the kernel keeps track of all partitions and so it may store an 'incorrect' entry. With the 2.6.29 kernel can you report this output after dmraid has loaded: cat /proc/partitions -- Disk Read Errors during boot-time caused by probe of invalid partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 77734] Re: Disk Read Errors during boot-time caused by probe of invalid partitions
I've compiled 2.6.29 from git, and I have attached my new dmesg. For whatever reason, the new kernel places my boot drive at sda, and the raid drives are now sdb, sdc, sdd, sde. Relevant messages seem to start around 10.132601. There are definitely many fewer messages, but it still says things like "sdc: unknown partition table" and "sdd: p1 size 1250258562 limited to end of disk". It really freaks me out that it says "write protect is off" for those drives. It's not actually writing to those drives, is it? ** Attachment added: "dmesg.2.6.29.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24469286/dmesg.2.6.29.txt -- Disk Read Errors during boot-time caused by probe of invalid partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Chucky, yes that looks like that system is suffering the same issue. Are you able to try the latest Jaunty kernel or even better one of the mainline 2.6.29 kernels. If the same delays and attempts to access the device are shown it'll have more impact. -- Disk Read Errors during boot-time caused by probe of invalid partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 77734] Re: Disk Read Errors during boot-time caused by probe of invalid partitions
I don't exactly follow all of the above discussion, but I am attaching my dmesg which I believe to be a manifestation of this bug (although i found this bug through bug #329880). See errors around 6.114387, 6.821079, 27.105417, and 37.177262. dmraid is all set up correctly, so once the system is booted, I can access the raid through /dev/mapper/. My sda-sdd are drives that are set up in a 1+0 raid using the nvidia raid on my motherboard. I boot to /dev/sde1 which is not part of a raid. If I can supply any more information or do any testing, please let me know. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 ** Attachment added: "dmesg.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24446379/dmesg.txt -- Disk Read Errors during boot-time caused by probe of invalid partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77734 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirmed as still affecting Jaunty by report in bug #329880.

Who is TJ? When I google for that name, I find a lot of hits, but all the links to tjworld.net are down. I also think the patch is wrong. IIRC, we cannot trust the "capacity" data, because not all disks report it correctly. If we did, we'd just do the check in read_dev_sector() instead. So I'm dropping this. I might be wrong about the capacity thing, we may have fixed it (Jens cc'd). But if the capacity is trustworthy, why not just do the trivial check in read_dev_sector to protect against invalid extended ones? And in add_partitions()?
