fdisk broken? [SOLVED]

[caderoux]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# fdisk -l
fdisk: cannot open /dev/mtdblock0: Input/output error
')

This is on two different PogoPlug V4 which are up to date, one a fairly clean new installation.

I get the same. Don't worry about it. Just do "fdisk -l /dev/sda", "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" and so on

Agreed! I've been having these for some of the plugs, but not all. My Dockstar spits out the errors whenever I do "fdisk -l" or blkid. But my GoFlex Home does not. Same UBoot was installed on both. I've searching for a clear answer for this, but nobody seems to know. Probably because nobody cares to get to the bottom of this.

Check error.log in /var/log. Mine recently starting spitting out lots of mtd block errors. What changed?

I just reinstalled using the current FS tar and low and behold, I get the same error. When I updated over the top of my previous FS I got a lot of mtd block complaining, but fdisk still worked.

I reconfigured the kernel. pacman -Syu and you should no longer get any mtdblock errors

Just compiled the new kernel 3.6.7 with this patch:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -U http://music4dance.mine.nu/Downloads/ArchLinuxArm/linux-kirkwood-3.6.7-0-arm.pkg.tar.xz http://music4dance.mine.nu/Downloads/ArchLinuxArm/linux-headers-kirkwood-3.6.7-0-arm.pkg.tar.xz
