It seems that a version of this patch has been mainlined since 2.6.31-rc4 and will be in the next rebase of the Karmic kernel which should occur this week:
commit 5dea271b6d87bd1d79a59c1d5baac2596a841c37 Author: Mike Snitzer <snit...@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jul 23 20:30:42 2009 +0100 dm table: pass correct dev area size to device_area_is_valid Incorrect device area lengths are being passed to device_area_is_valid(). The regression appeared in 2.6.31-rc1 through commit 754c5fc7ebb417b23601a6222a6005cc2e7f2913. With the dm-stripe target, the size of the target (ti->len) was used instead of the stripe_width (ti->len/#stripes). An example of a consequent incorrect error message is: device-mapper: table: 254:0: sdb too small for target Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snit...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <a...@redhat.com> -- system does not boot due to device-mapper error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398059 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
