[Bug 534370] Re: fdisk -l doesn't list damaged hdd but palimpsest does

[Renard Voß]

I changed the link to the screenshot in the bug description. It should
work now. If not, please let me know.

** Description changed:

  My PC contains a damaged hdd from which I'm rescuing data using
  ddrescue. I'm doing this already for several months. Now that I updated
  to ubuntu 9.10 I'm having a strange problem:
  
  "fdisk -l" does not show the damaged hdd anymore, while palimpsest does.
  
  Look here:

  In the past I always checked if the damaged hdd is sdc by using "fdisk
  -l" before using my "standard" ddrescue command (and if the hdd wasn't
  listed, I could be sure that the hdd had not been found by the BIOS).
  
  Now I'm getting the information from palimpsest, but it is strange that
  "fdisk -l" doesn't show the disk and I think it must be a bug
  (eventually not a very important bug, but still a bug).
