------- Comment From jan.hoepp...@de.ibm.com 2017-07-05 04:29 EDT------- Hi Ofer Baruch,
is this issue still relevant and can you still reproduce it? If this is the case, can you please provide us with some detailed information on how you reproduce it. If you've got a script that is been used, you may provide that as well. I already had a look at the dbginfo data but I can't see any of the commands that you used to trigger the issue. When did you collect the dbginfo data? If possible, please run dbginfo after you reproduced the issue. Furthermore, the workaround with the user shell seems a bit odd and makes me curious. Can you elaborate on that? How did you create the user in the first place (when he had no shell yet) and how is the access to /sbin managed for this user? (sudo?) Thanks a lot and best regards, Jan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1643527 Title: dasdfmt fails after vary online. syslog show strange message "The disk layout of the DASD is not supported" Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Incomplete Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Problem description: procedure: echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.0199/online /sbin/chzdev dasd-eckd 0199 -e -p /sbin/dasdfmt -b 4096 -d cdl -f /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0199 -y dasdfmt fails with: /sbin/dasdfmt: Unable to open device /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0199: No such device looking at the syslog i can see a strange message that only comes out when i am having this issue: Nov 21 08:52:12 JUUB16MS kernel: [ 67.412484] dasd-eckd 0.0.0199: The disk layout of the DASD is not supported lsdasd returns: root@JUUB16MS:~# lsdasd Bus-ID Status Name Device Type BlkSz Size Blocks ============================================================================== 0.0.0192 active dasda 94:0 ECKD 4096 5070MB 1298160 0.0.0195 active dasdb 94:4 FBA 512 40MB 81920 0.0.0193 n/f dasdc 94:8 ECKD 0.0.0196 active dasdd 94:12 FBA 512 40MB 81920 0.0.0194 n/f dasde 94:16 ECKD 0.0.0197 n/f dasdf 94:20 ECKD 0.0.0198 n/f dasdg 94:24 ECKD 0.0.0199 n/f dasdh 94:28 ECKD you can see that the 199 is not format and can't be formatted... a workaround is to vary the disk offline and then online again. this time it will start ok and you can format it and work with it. ------------------------------ just to be clear... this happens after linking to an un-formatted disk dynamically and then vary it online... for example: vmcp link '*' 199 199 echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.0199/online /sbin/chzdev dasd-eckd 0199 -e -p /sbin/dasdfmt -b 4096 -d cdl -f /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0199 -y To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1643527/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
