Public bug reported: Binary package hint: udev
Since upgrading from Edgy Eft to Feisty Fawn I have been unable to automount my external USB 250Gb SEAGATE harddrive. I've been subscribed to a number of bugs on related problems, but not seen a solution. This weekend I tried Gutsy, and still no joy so I decided to dig deeper. (I've posted some of the following to 102097, but I thought it might be clearer as a separate report.) The problem boils down to vol_id not recognising the partition as VFAT. I've looked at the source code, and I think the problem is in udev-113/extras/volume_id/lib/fat.c at around line 328: /* sector size check */ sector_size = le16_to_cpu(vs->sector_size); if (sector_size != 0x200 && sector_size != 0x400 && sector_size != 0x800 && sector_size != 0x1000) return -1; Dumping out the header for the partition, I calculate that the sector_size on the partition is 0x2000 - which means that the partition is rejected on the FAT* checks. Any chance of a fix? Pretty please? pihl ** Affects: udev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- udev vol_id does not recognise FAT* partitions with sector size 8192 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
