Package: util-linux
Version: 2.16-3
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/cfdisk
Hi,
when one maximizes a disk's first partition using the maximize
function, installing grub 2 results in a lot of nasty warnings because
embedding is not possible and the grub developers consider block lists
a bad thing.
Please consider adding a warning against the maximize function, or
removing it completely.
Greetings
Marc

Version: 2.25-1
Hello!
The new util-linux v2.25 contains a completely rewritten cfdisk program
which is now based on the new (lib)fdisk code. This means cfdisk should
now work equally well as the new fdisk and hopefully the reported bug
should be gone.
If you still see the problem you originally reported with the new version
then please do reopen the bug report and provide some additional information
about it.
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
