Package: partimage
Version: 0.6.4-15
Severity: normal
When I launch the partimage client on a box using evms volumes, it
presents me a dialog saying "/dev/dm inode doesn't exists." and
proposing to create it for me. No matter what I answer, I get the same
warning a number of times (indeed, the 1st time I thought it was
endlessly looping). I guess it asks the question several times per dm
volume found, which is already bad in itself. If it cannot create a
device, it should also be able to detect that and tell the user.
More info about what device to create would be welcomed as well, since
MAKEDEV does not know about /dev/dm. That device is even not listed in
modern devices.txt lists.
After the loop is over, for the obvious reason the dm devices are not shown.
If I strace the process, between each dialog appearance (ie. between 2
select() calls), I only get the following lines, showing it is not trying
at all to create such a device:
select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {10, 0}) = 1 (in [4], left {10, 0})
read(4, "\r", 1) = 1
write(1, "\33[34;73H\33[m\33[30m\33[47m \33[35"..., 144) = 144
select(0, [], [], [], {0, 150000}) = 0 (Timeout)
write(1, "\33[34;73Hlqqqqqk\33[35;73Hx\33[m\17\33[31"..., 145) = 145
select(0, [], [], [], {0, 150000}) = 0 (Timeout)
write(1, "\33[26;67H\33[m\33[30m\33[47m "..., 594) = 594
write(3, "[Main] misc.cpp->getMajorMinor#1"..., 67) = 67
stat64("/dev/dm", 0xbf8bff2c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
write(3, "[Main] misc.cpp->getMajorMinor#1"..., 52) = 52
open("/dev/dm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
access("/dev/dm", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
write(1, "\33[26;67H\16\33[30m\33[47mlqqqqqqqqqqu\33"..., 1404) = 1404
