Chris, The only other difference I can think of is that sdb the "first" time was acquired by the kernel after booting. Again, the SIIG docking station. The system "noticed" the device and udev "fixed" things up so the drive is usable. The "second" time, sdb was already powered up. I could power down sdb and reboot then power it up if you think it might provide information. Regards, George...

The scrub message comes from block/blk-core.c:655: pr_info_ratelimited("attempt to access beyond end of device\n" I don't know why it would be triggered. fdisk says: Disk /dev/sdb: 465.76 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors /dev/sdb1 2048 976773167 976771120 465.8G 83 Linux sdb1 is 500106813440 bytes. kernel says: [152968.929912] sdb: p1 size 1465144002 extends beyond EOD, enabling native capacity this is coming from block/partitions/core.c:573: "%s: p%d size %llu extends beyond EOD, ", and block/partitions/core.c:519: printk(KERN_CONT "enabling native capacity\n"); I've got no idea what it's complaining about though. Seems like the kernel and fdisk have very different ideas about how to read this partition map. btrfs says: dev_item.total_bytes 500106813440 The partition map and btrfs have the exact same bytes again, that's good. The only discrepancy here is the kernel's block core is confused about it. I don't know why that would be. Does that EOD message happen on every boot for sdb1? -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
