[Bug 1531404] Re: nonexistent partition in /dev, & lsblk/disk util misbehaving with randomized disks

 

Yes, I have rebooted many times.  Right now, I'm using them in a working
system.  What's more, I have two systems prepared similarly, one with
raid and one without, and they are showing exactly the same problem.
Here, have a look at one of these systems (raid).  All the disks
sd{a,b,c} are random filled with no luks header.  They are mounted with
an external header.  sd{a,b} contain root/home and sdc (not mounted) is
just data.

Title:
  nonexistent partition in /dev, & lsblk/disk util misbehaving with
  randomized disks

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have two 2T disks with no partition table and which have been filled
  with random data.  GNU parted shows nothing on this disk:

  GNU Parted 3.2
  Using /dev/sda
  Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
  (parted) print
  Error: /dev/sda: unrecognised disk label
  Model: ATA WDC WD2002FAEX-0 (scsi)
  Disk /dev/sda: 2000GB
  Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
  Partition Table: unknown
  Disk Flags:

  but when I check with `lsblk`, I see one disk with partitions and the
  other without:

  Code:
  NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
  sda 8:0 0 1.8T 0 disk
  └─sda2 8:2 0 1.6T 0 part

  NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
  sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk

  and the Disks utility agrees (see: http://ibin.co/2SQv4KbH06Mz).

  Also, /dev/disk/by-id contains an entry pointing to sda and one
  pointing to sda2. So it really does think there's a second partition
  there.

  Thinking there was something wrong, I re-filled the disks with random
  data.  Now sda is properly (in the Disks utility as just an "unknown
  disk"), but sdb shows a second partition, and identically to how sda
  was showing it before (ie the Disks utility output is the same with
  181GB at the beginning and 128GB at the end).

  I am running all this from the Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 installer disk.
