#129 Issue `closed`: Problem with more than 9 partitions ?¶

Labels: bug

jo-github opened issue at 2012-07-25 10:23:¶

My setup has 10 partitions
ReaR produces a false order in initrd.cgz: part 10 (which is a logical one of course) is placed as second in the list:
todo /dev/sda1 part
todo /dev/sda10 part
todo /dev/sda2 part
todo /dev/sda3 part
todo /dev/sda4 part
todo /dev/sda5 part
todo /dev/sda6 part
todo /dev/sda7 part
todo /dev/sda8 part
todo /dev/sda9 part

While recovering an parted error occurs, because a logical must not follow a primary partition directly.

Consequences:

parted wipes the partittion first (which should not be nessessary as geometry didn't change)
parted stops with above error
luckily one can edit this from the ReaR recovery menu, but it should not happen

BTW: is it possible to correct this in initrd.cgz of the ISO or does this break the ISO?

My ReaR version is

Relax-and-Recover 1.13.0-git201207200104 / 2012-07-20

Previous 1.13 version had the same problem.

if you could add a debug output to gist.github.com then that would be very useful for us.
