#4618 No size on vdx devices
the fdisk module does not display "total size" although fdisk happily does display it:
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/vda: 18 GiB, 19327353344 bytes, 37748737 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/vdb: 32 GiB, 34359738368 bytes, 67108864 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xdbab9be4
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/vdb1 2048 67108863 67106816 32G 83 Linux
And yes - the /vda has no partitions and is used as "raw" device. Maybe that's what irritates webmin?
What output do you get if you run :
parted /dev/vda unit cyl print
# parted /dev/vda unit cyl print
-bash: parted: command not found
This error report is simply about "fdisk" module in webmin not printing any total size, while "fdisk -l" doing so with no problems.
It looks like the fdisk output has changed from what Webmin expects - which Linux distribution and version is this on?
It's
fdisk -v
fdisk from util-linux 2.26.2
on Gentoo
uname -a
Linux vmailhost 4.1.0 #1 SMP Wed Jun 24 14:38:42 CEST 2015 x86_64 QEMU Virtual CPU version 1.1.2 GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
fdisk -h
Usage:
fdisk [options] <disk> change partition table
fdisk [options] -l [<disk>]</disk> list partition table(s)</disk>
Display or manipulate a disk partition table.
Options:
-b, --sector-size <size> physical and logical sector size
-c, --compatibility[=<mode>]</mode> mode is 'dos' or 'nondos' (default)
-L, --color[=<when>]</when> colorize output (auto, always or never)
colors disabled by default
-l, --list display partitions end exit
-o, --output <list> output columns
-t, --type <type> recognize specified partition table type only
-u, --units[=<unit>]</unit> display units: 'cylinders' or 'sectors' (default)
-s, --getsz display device size in 512-byte sectors [DEPRECATED]
--bytes print SIZE in bytes rather than in human readable format</type></list></size>
-C, --cylinders <number> specify the number of cylinders
-H, --heads <number> specify the number of heads
-S, --sectors <number> specify the number of sectors per track</number></number></number>
-h, --help display this help and exit
-V, --version output version information and exit
Available columns (for -o):
gpt: Device Start End Sectors Size Type Type-UUID Attrs Name UUID
dos: Device Start End Sectors Cylinders Size Type Id Attrs Boot End-C/H/S Start-C/H/S
bsd: Slice Start End Sectors Cylinders Size Type Bsize Cpg Fsize
sgi: Device Start End Sectors Cylinders Size Type Id Attrs
sun: Device Start End Sectors Cylinders Size Type Id Flags
Actually, can you run :
fdisk -u=cylinders -l /dev/vda
that's the command Webmin actually uses.
