https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=187381 Bug ID: 187381 Summary: 4.9.-rc4 produces hundreds of unusable scsi devices. Product: SCSI Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 4.9-rc4 Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Other Assignee: scsi_drivers-other@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: samuel.silbory@xxxxxxx Regression: No Created attachment 244091 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=244091&action=edit Debian's kernel log file. Note that this contains functional boots with older kernels as well earlier in the file. With both my hand compiled 4.9-rc4 from kernel.org sources and Ubuntu's 4.9.0-040900rc4-generic the kernel creates hundred of useless /dev/sd?? devices. This system is fine with various 4.4, and 4.8 kernels. The logs are spammed with messages like these 2016-11-09T12:17:00.021765-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.503155] Dev sdjm: unable to read RDB block 1 2016-11-09T12:17:00.021767-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.503188] sdjm: unable to read partition table 2016-11-09T12:17:00.021769-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.503191] sdjm: partition table beyond EOD, enabling native capacity 2016-11-09T12:17:00.021776-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.504463] sd 1:3:126:0: [sdjl] Sector size 0 reported, assuming 512. 2016-11-09T12:17:00.021778-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.504486] sd 1:3:127:0: [sdjm] Sector size 0 reported, assuming 512. 2016-11-09T12:17:00.025711-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.504624] Dev sdjl: unable to read RDB block 1 2016-11-09T12:17:00.025720-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.504625] Dev sdjm: unable to read RDB block 1 2016-11-09T12:17:00.025722-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.504635] sdjm: unable to read partition table 2016-11-09T12:17:00.025724-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.504687] sdjm: partition table beyond EOD, truncated 2016-11-09T12:17:00.025725-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.504697] sdjl: unable to read partition table 2016-11-09T12:17:00.025727-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.504701] sdjl: partition table beyond EOD, truncated 2016-11-09T12:17:00.025728-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.505084] sd 1:3:127:0: [sdjm] Sector size 0 reported, assuming 512. 2016-11-09T12:17:00.025730-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.505088] sd 1:3:126:0: [sdjl] Sector size 0 reported, assuming 512. 2016-11-09T12:17:00.025732-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.505115] sd 1:3:126:0: [sdjl] Attached SCSI disk 2016-11-09T12:17:00.025733-08:00 Node001 kernel: [75590.505151] sd 1:3:127:0: [sdjm] Attached SCSI disk -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
