Lane" Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 13:59:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 18/18] libparted: Stop converting . in sys path to / In _probe_sys_block it claimed that ! and . are replaced by / in sys paths, but according to the kernel code only ! is replaced (for cciss devices). This is now causing problems with libnvdimm devices, the details are here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm.git/tree/Documentation/nvdimm/nvdimm.txt?h=libnvdimm-for-next (cherry picked from commit 579bd6878b07d8387451d36106ccf86d26818b77) --- libparted/arch/linux.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/libparted/arch/linux.c b/libparted/arch/linux.c index d33c02d..20a7235 100644 --- a/libparted/arch/linux.c +++ b/libparted/arch/linux.c @@ -2235,9 +2235,9 @@ _probe_sys_block () strcpy (dev_name, "/dev/"); strcat (dev_name, dirent->d_name); - /* in /sys/block, '/'s are replaced with '!' or '.' */ + /* in /sys/block, '/'s are replaced with '!' */ for (ptr = dev_name; *ptr != '\0'; ptr++) { - if (*ptr == '!' || *ptr == '.') + if (*ptr == '!') *ptr = '/'; } _ped_device_probe (dev_name); -- 2.4.3
