Title:
fdisk gives an incomplete list of partitions
Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I use Ubuntu Intrepid on Acer Aspire One A110L and are trying to use
both built-in card readers. When the netbook is booted with both
readers containing SD cards, both cards are mounted and can be used.
However, the command "fdisk -l" shows only the SSD (which in my system
contains two partitions, one for root, and one for swap):
Platte /dev/sda: 8069 MByte, 8069677056 Byte
255 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 981 Zylinder
Einheiten = Zylinder von 16065 × 512 = 8225280 Bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0007da04
Gerät boot. Anfang Ende Blöcke Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 850 6827593+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 851 981 1052257+ 82 Linux Swap / Solaris
You will notice that none of the SD cards are listed. mount says about them:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/SANVOL type vfat
(ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush)
/dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/disk type vfat
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush)
This is what the "man fdisk" is saying about the "-l" option to fdisk:
-l List the partition tables for the specified devices and then
exit. If no devices are given, those men‐
tioned in /proc/partitions (if that exists) are used.
However, the /proc/partitions contain: cat /proc/partitions:
major minor #blocks name
8 0 7880544 sda
8 1 6827593 sda1
8 2 1052257 sda2
179 0 128000 mmcblk0
179 1 127968 mmcblk0p1
179 8 15694336 mmcblk1
179 9 15690240 mmcblk1p1
Obviously, fdisk gives an incomplete list of partitions, inconsistent
with its stated behaviour, since all mmcbl* partitions are missing!
