Description Marek Janda 2010-02-01 13:02:06 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When I add hdd monitor plasmoid, it only shows free space on (unencrypted) /boot. Even if I try to configure it, it only offers that one partition.

In mtab, I have:

/dev/mapper/sda2_crypt / xfs rw,noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=32 0 0
...proc, sys, etc...
/dev/sda3 /boot ext3 rw,noatime 0 0

but root partition is ignored.

This bug is still present in KDE 4.4.2 with Ubuntu package

I want to confirm this bug.

Yes, i'm having this problem too.  My home is encrypted with cryptsetup , and i can't choose it in the list.

I'm using kubuntu lucid 64bits.  Kde 4.4.2 with all updates until today.



FSTAB:

.....

/dev/mapper/sda8_crypt /home           ext4    defaults        0       2
.....



cat /etc/mtab shows:
.....
/dev/mapper/sda8_crypt /home ext4 rw 0 0
.....

When the encrypted partition is mounted (e.g. in my case /home) then it is offered to be monitored without any issue. 

Whatt is not offered to be monitored are encrypted and unencrypted partitions created as raid devices (mdadm) 

When the partition hosts raid device (mdadm) than it is not offered to be monitored. In my case boot (/boot) is non encrypted partition on raid device created from /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1. I see both of these as available partitions but when I check on them nothing happens. Since these partitions are hosting raid device they shouldn't even appear here. What should appear instead is as was mentioned before the /dev/mapper/xxx devices.nd only those which do not host encrypted file systems.

When the encrypted partition is on a software raid device (mdadm) then it is not offered to be monitored. In my case root (/) is encrypted partition on raid device created from /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3. I see both of these as available partitions but when I check on them nothing happens. Since these partitions are hosting raid device they shouldn't even appear here. What should appear instead is as was mentioned before the /dev/mapper/xxx devices and only those which do not host encrypted file systems.

This is with KDE 4.5.4 on Kubuntu 10.10

Closing for lack of feedback. Please feel free to reopen this report if you can still reproduce this with KDE 4.8.3 or later.
