Bug Description

Binary package hint: kpartx

Version: Hardy 8.04.1
multipath-tools v0.4.8
GNU Parted 1.8.9
kpartx 0.4.8-10ubuntu1

I have a 4.5T ISCSI device.

multipath -ll
mpath3 (3600a0b80003aa47d00000b42496c062c) dm-1 IBM ,1726-3xx FASt

GPT:Primary header thinks Alt. header is not at the end of the disk.

GPT:Alternate GPT header not at the end of the disk.
GPT:245e1dfff != ffffffffffffffff
GPT: Use GNU Parted to correct GPT errors.
gpt: 1 slices

The device /dev/mapper/mpath3p1 should have been created

Instead I received the above error and no device was created.

I have done the exact same steps on a smaller device and the device is successfully created.

Please let me know if you require further testing or information.

Thanks

This bug was fixed in the package multipath-tools - 0.4.8-14ubuntu1

---------------
multipath-tools (0.4.8-14ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - control:
     + Bump debhelper dependency to install udev rules to
      /lib/udev/rules.d, bump udev dependencies as well.
     + multipath-udeb must not depend on multipath-modules,
      because the Ubuntu kernel already includes the modules and no
      package provides m-m.
    - initramfs/hooks: Install rules from /lib/udev/rules.d.
    - kpartx.udev, multipath-tools-boot.init:
      Replace multipath-tools-boot init script with udev rules.
    - multipath-tools.preinst: Fix preinst script to modprobe dm-multipath.
      This will make sure that multipathd will be able to start.
    - multipath-tools.prerm: Add prerm script to not fail when upgrading
      from a broken version of multipathd.
    - patches/1000--set-umask-in-multipathd.patch: Set umask in multipathd.
    - rules: Move udev rules to priority 95, because rules that load
      modules should be >90.
  * Fix bugs (LP: #316851, #320156)
  * multipath-tools.prerm/preinst: Remove checks for old ubuntu
    versions, we don't support upgrading from them anymore.
