Hi I'm trying to troubleshoot linux kernel issues with a Windows dynamic disk. I see ldm_parse errors and missing partitions on a working disk so was trying to diagnose. Richard and Jakob - you're listed at the contact for linux-ldm-0.0.8. I found some bugs/issues in ldmutil, ldminfo and sparse and started fixing but I wondered if anyone is maintaining these or has updated code? The code has some bugs with large disks and/or compiling on 64 bit. I extracted the mbr and ldm (last 1MB of disk) manually with dd and was able to create a sparse 2TB disk. It shows the same TOCKBLOCK errors as the original. Matthew I don't see any results when I scan the disk even though there's a Windows LDM/Dynamic disk there. I downloaded master from git and compiled it - not sure where to start Thanks John Paul These are the kernel errors I'm seeing (4.15 Ubuntu 18.04, 5.9 FC33) [176972.228989] ldm_parse_tocblock(): Cannot find TOCBLOCK, database may be corrupt. [176972.229018] ldm_parse_tocblock(): Cannot find TOCBLOCK, database may be corrupt. [176972.404271] loop6: [LDM] p1 With this particular dynamic disk I get the kernel messages and it finds one partition but misses other partitions Another disk has similar kernel messages but the partitions are listed correctly |
