Comment 54 for bug 571038

Mikhail, thanks a lot for your help here!

I have tried for an hour to replicate such a nested partition layout, but haven't succeeded so far. The easiest and safest is to do "sudo modprobe scsi_debug" and use the new virtual 8 MB device for this. I used sfdisk and fdisk trying to recreate such a structure, but no luck. Did you happen to succeed with this? If you have a small device with no actual data, it might also be possible to just dd it and compress the dump.

I'd like to be able to reproduce this to put it into udisks' test suite. Both udisks 1.x and libgdu (where this crash happens) are being deprecated, and I'd rather ensure that this bug does not happen again with udisks 2, or whatever the replacement will be in 5 years.

Thanks!
