Hello Jos van Wolput!

Thanks for your bug report.

Indeed I don't use the cdrom (sr0) but using fdisk -l from util-linux 2.20.1-5.8 (sid) there is no such issue, all disks are shown:

This seems to be a regression between 2.24.2 and 2.25 and git bisect tells me the first bad commit is: a22c6eb206fb716fa4

Reverting a22c6eb206fb716fa4 and reviving wholedisk.h from 62acb047a625059e77 makes v2.25 fdisk -l work as expected for me.

I'm CCing the upstream developer mailing list to hopefully have some help on finding the proper fix.

Already fixed in upstream tree. The patch will be in 2.25.1 (probably at the end of the next month).
