This came to my attention a while back elsewhere.. probably the debian
bug tracker.  The question is how to identify such a device so it can be
excluded?  Does it have a unique dev no?  Or some sysfs attribute that
flags it as an RPMB?

What was the parted cmdline you were running?

And what are the permissions of the device node?

eMMC spec 4.5 has a tiny (2MiB or 4MiB) Replay Protected Memory Block.
As well as UFS and NVMe have support for RPMB.

That RPMB area is protected from readwrite access.

---
The kernel has been patched to not access this rpmb area:

$ dmesg | grep rpmb
[    6.712468] mmcblk0rpmb: mmc0:0001 SEM04G partition 3 2.00 MiB
---
Parted (GNU parted) 3.2 still tries to access the RPMB:

Error: /dev/mmcblk0rpmb: unrecognised disk label
Warning: Error fsyncing/closing /dev/mmcblk0rpmb: Input/output error
Retry/Ignore?

Resulting in dmesg logged errors like:

[46684.715228] print_req_error: I/O error, dev mmcblk0rpmb, sector 0
---

Should (GNU) parted be patched too, or not?


Cheers, Ceriel
