I successfully created a RDB with GParted with the unpatched (reverted updates) RC1 of kernel 6.5 today.
After that, I tested this disk with a patched RC1 of kernel 6.5. (with Michael's patches)


The strange thing is, that there is no difference between a patched and an unpatched RC1. The reading of the RDB and partitions work correctly with both kernels.

Maybe my RDB was created incorrectly with Media Toolbox and the unpatched RC1 reports problems, but the partitons still work.

Screenshots:

For testing:

It is possible to load the dtb file and the uImage directly from the root partition if you use an ext* file system.
load sata 1:2 2000000 /boot/cyrus-p5020.dtb for the X5000/20.

Hi All,

I was able to simulate the issue with the RDB.

First, I created 2TB dynamic allocation disk image with qemu-img.
du -sh disk.qcow2
After that, I booted the virtual e5500 QEMU machine with this disk.
I was able to restore my RDB in this virtual e5500 QEMU machine with:
I can mount this partition with the unpatched RC1. (without Michael's patches)
But I can't mount it with the patched RC1 of kernel 6.5. (with Michael's patches)
