ok, so this is wierd, lets focus on 'sda' and see if we can't prune this down. >From your statements in the bug opening: $ lsblk -l NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 1 100G 0 disk sda1 8:1 1 100G 0 part /
but then, when we do the longer 'lsblk --bytes --pairs --output=...' command in comment 3, we see: $ lsblk --bytes --pairs --output=ALIGNMENT,DISC-ALN,DISC-GRAN,DISC-MAX,DISC-ZERO,FSTYPE,GROUP,KNAME,LABEL,LOG-SEC,MAJ:MIN,MIN-IO,MODE,MODEL,MOUNTPOINT,NAME,OPT-IO,OWNER,PHY-SEC,RM,RO,ROTA,RQ-SIZE,SIZE,STATE,TYPE,UUID ALIGNMENT="0" DISC-ALN="0" DISC-GRAN="0" DISC-MAX="0" DISC-ZERO="0" FSTYPE="" GROUP="disk" KNAME="sda" LABEL="" LOG-SEC="512" MAJ:MIN="8:0" MIN-IO="512" MODE="brw-rw----" MODEL="main " MOUNTPOINT="" NAME="sda" OPT-IO="0" OWNER="root" PHY-SEC="512" RM="1" RO="0" ROTA="1" RQ-SIZE="128" SIZE="107363696640" STATE="running" TYPE="disk" UUID="" ALIGNMENT="0" DISC-ALN="0" DISC-GRAN="0" DISC-MAX="0" DISC-ZERO="0" FSTYPE="" GROUP="disk" KNAME="sda1" LABEL="" LOG-SEC="512" MAJ:MIN="8:1" MIN-IO="512" MODE="brw-rw----" MODEL="" MOUNTPOINT="/" NAME="sda1" OPT-IO="0" OWNER="root" PHY-SEC="512" RM="1" RO="0" ROTA="1" RQ-SIZE="128" SIZE="107362631168" STATE="" TYPE="part" UUID="" So it *seems* that in the --output= invocation, it reports they *are* removable, but not in the less verbose invocation. Lets try to pair that down, can you try: $ full=ALIGNMENT,DISC-ALN,DISC-GRAN,DISC-MAX,DISC-ZERO,FSTYPE,GROUP,KNAME,LABEL,LOG-SEC,MAJ:MIN,MIN-IO,MODE,MODEL,MOUNTPOINT,NAME,OPT-IO,OWNER,PHY-SEC,RM,RO,ROTA,RQ-SIZE,SIZE,STATE,TYPE,UUID $ short="NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT" $ lsblk --pairs "--output=$full" /dev/sda $ lsblk --pairs "--output=$short" /dev/sda and then without /dev/sda on it. See if that shows RM= on any of those. It woudl seem like there must be buffer overflow or something. -- 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/1532062 Title: Drives mistakenly reported as removable Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have multiple servers which report their drives are removable, even though the drives are the main drives in the device (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc). One of such machines (an IBM system x3650 M1) I have pulled a report from lsblk and lshw below and included them. These are configured using the RAID controller that came with the machine. I can provide any other information needed. I am seeing the same on a HP proliant DL100 g2. In this case the removable tag is triggering a problem with curtin since curtin currently refuses to install to drives reported as removable by lsblk. output of: lsblk -l NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 1 100G 0 disk sda1 8:1 1 100G 0 part / sdb 8:16 1 173.2G 0 disk sdb1 8:17 1 172.2G 0 part /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0 sdb2 8:18 1 1023M 0 part sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom output of: sudo lshw -class disk *-disk:0 description: SCSI Disk physical id: 0.0.0 bus info: scsi@2:0.0.0 logical name: /dev/sda size: 99GiB (107GB) capabilities: partitioned partitioned:dos configuration: sectorsize=512 *-disk:1 description: SCSI Disk physical id: 0.1.0 bus info: scsi@2:0.1.0 logical name: /dev/sdb size: 173GiB (186GB) capabilities: gpt-1.00 partitioned partitioned:gpt configuration: guid=66a282c8-da87-4502-902d-ce5c7b4da275 sectorsize=512 *-disk:2 UNCLAIMED description: SCSI Disk physical id: 1.0.0 bus info: scsi@2:1.0.0 *-disk:3 UNCLAIMED description: SCSI Disk physical id: 1.1.0 bus info: scsi@2:1.1.0 *-cdrom description: DVD reader product: UJDA780 DVD/CDRW vendor: MATSHITA physical id: 0.0.0 bus info: scsi@1:0.0.0 logical name: /dev/cdrom logical name: /dev/sr0 version: CA21 capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd configuration: ansiversion=5 status=nodisc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/1532062/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
