Why does command 'palimpsest' report errors for multipath devices?
Issue
- When executing "Format Drive" to multipath device:
/dev/dm-N
using palimpsest GUI (Disk Utility), it returns below erro:
$ palimpsest /dev/dm-X
Then it fail with following error popup.
Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: In part
_create_partition_table: device_file=/dev/dm-0, scheme=0
got it
got disk
committed to disk
BLKRRPART ioctl failed for /dev/dm-0: Invalid argument
- This works fine using parted against the same device.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.4
- Palimpsest Disk Utility(gnome-disk-utility)
