Package: util-linux
Version: 2.20.1-5.2
Severity: normal
addpart seems to have serious issues above 2147483648 I think. This results in
partitions starting at 0 or having length 0.
As a workaround I copied partx_add_partition from the current linux-utils repo
and called it, basically like that:
----
static inline int partx_add_partition(int fd, int partno,
uint64_t start, uint64_t size)
{
struct blkpg_ioctl_arg a;
struct blkpg_partition p;
p.pno = partno;
p.start = start << 9;
p.length = size << 9;
p.devname[0] = 0;
p.volname[0] = 0;
a.op = BLKPG_ADD_PARTITION;
a.flags = 0;
a.datalen = sizeof(p);
a.data = &p;
return ioctl(fd, BLKPG, &a);
}
partx_add_partition(fd, 3, 8392704ULL, 2930259968ULL);
----
Worked fine.
