Package: util-linux Version: 2.20.1-5.3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have a VM inside VMWare (not mine), where executing blockdev --setrw does not work: # blockdev -v --setrw /dev/mapper/vol0-root set read-write succeeded. # mount -oremount,rw /dev/mapper/vol0-root mount: cannot remount block device /dev/mapper/vol0-root read-write, is write-protected It would be great if blockdev could report that the operation failed, instead of claiming that it succeeded, unless it would be possible to make it actually succeed. Kind regards, --Toni++ -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii dpkg 1.16.12 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-41+deb7u1 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-10 ii libblkid1 2.20.1-5.3 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libncurses5 5.9-10 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 ii libslang2 2.2.4-15 ii libtinfo5 5.9-10 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.3 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8+deb7u1 ii tzdata 2013d-0wheezy1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 util-linux recommends no packages.
