So, Christian, unless you can actually enlighten us on a reproducible
way how users with those setups end up with incorrect partition tables
like this, I consider this case closed. So far you didn't.
Ciao,
This is a very simple explanation. The first partitions on the RDB disk
were created with Media Toolbox on OS4.1. After that some additional
partitions were created with Linux and formatted with ext4.
With the new patched kernel, these can no longer be mounted.
I will try out, if I can correct them with GParted. If it works, then I
will write some instructions for correcting the partitions via GParted
for the end users.
GParted is a good tool and suitable for our customers.
I know, this is a very old bug and no one has noticed this one. I have
not received any error messages because of Linux partitions on RDB disks
in the last 10 years. I am very happy that this bug is fixed now but we
have to explain it to our customers why they can't mount their Linux
partitions on the RDB disk anymore. Booting is of course also affected.
(Mounting the root partition)
But maybe simple GParted instructions is a good solution.
