A new problem has cropped up with enumerating all of a disk's eternal partitions in /dev. This has not been a problem since may or june of this year. It just cropped up when I booted this morning. One external drive (sdb) is connected to the laptop via the laptop's built-in esata port, and the 2nd drive (sdc) is connected via port 1 of the expresscard/34, which has 2 esata ports. $ ls -l /dev/sdb* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Oct 5 11:25 /dev/sdb $ $ fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x0007b94c Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb3 2048 3907028991 1953513472 83 Linux $ $ ls -l /dev/sdc* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 Oct 5 11:26 /dev/sdc $ $ $ fdisk -l /dev/sdc Disk /dev/sdc: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xec3cb3b1 Partition 4 does not start on physical sector boundary.
