--- Begin Message --------BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This does indeed appear to have been fixed way back in 1.7: parted now tries to get the information from sysfs first before falling back to the deprecated ioctl. I installed wheezy last night and did not see the message about the deprecated ioctl, so if you still see this, make sure sysfs is mounted. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQyffcAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75Q2kH/1G1ITqFSplgJpKZ8LV6nM1h G6rrcf9xhutZkXCY4sS5Hy6kmAWezujt1ugXcNpCAaSePSthhK+A6QUCz+1KjYEB +VSyxabFevWj35jkRcuKWWupkRR0DAAYK0gzjSJY/+1w0v/MWGtGjQOOdg+E9+19 2rdeZdxzAoP/mALEp7GMFCZ1vzqPwkGQjkp86XUHx1SFpRSOPeMHUTymcyYUx0hz VbToANlOD+gPNfV24czPxY5w96tKmCWnHhYzR9MKlCdBt0M8/P3YuJ1+3l6Evp3z stz4lwj8irWPMwSqOMaPFi0Tqw4U9YZGBmrLJHSQJitri7q6le2oIRzRlQhcmME= =94v/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
