Bug#554461: base: Partitions on sd* devices after those with no partitions are not populated into /dev

[Alex Crow-3]

Package: base
Severity: important

I have four drives in the system: /dev/sda holds a standard, all-on-one partition plus a swap partition for the OS.

/dev/sdb and /dev/sdc are unpartitioned and are members of a software RAID5 array that also includes /dev/sdd1. However even though the kernel shows sdd,sdd1 (and sdd2, which is just an extra bit of storage I want to export via NFS, I do *not* get any devices in /dev for sdd1 or sdd2. Only /dev/sdd is present, and so I cannot assemble my full array properly.

I think that this might be a bug in udev, but I can't identify and rule that might be blocking the creation of nodes for the sddX partitions.

Thanks

Alex

Me neither. Did you make any progress? Which version of udev is
installed on your system? Do /sys/block/sdd[12]/ exist?
