Severity: normal
Installed today a Niagara t2000
everything went fine. After selecting to write a complete new clean disklabel
the disksize was
lowerd to about 46GB.
see below. both drives are physically the same size. the sda output is after
using partitiontool in d-i
t2000:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 24 heads, 424 sectors, 8922 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 10176 * 512 bytes
Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 0 49 249312 83 Linux native
/dev/sda2 49 817 3907584 83 Linux native
/dev/sda3 0 8924 45405312 5 Whole disk
/dev/sda4 817 1009 976896 82 Linux swap
t2000:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb (Sun disk label): 24 heads, 424 sectors, 14087 cylinders

This below helps.
If i select new label the partition tool tells me it will write the parttable
*now*. Why dont do dd at this point at hotfix? :)
12:06:37 < fabbione> codebreaker: the only workaround to the 73GB problem is
to switch to console and dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX count=1 bs=512
12:06:46 < fabbione> that will reset the partition table 100%
12:06:49 < fabbione> so be careful
12:06:52 -!- basjo [EMAIL PROTECTED] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
12:06:53 < fabbione> and restart partitioner
12:06:57 < fabbione> the bug lies in libparted
12:07:17 < codebreaker> fabbione: and then this gives me 73gb in the
partitioner?
12:07:24 < fabbione> codebreaker: yes it should
12:07:32 < codebreaker> fabbione: okay. i will try
12:07:37 < fabbione> (assuming that other bug didn't show up since last i
checked)
12:07:49 < fabbione> codebreaker: remember it will kill the disk partition
