--- Begin Message ---Package: util-linux Version: 2.12h-3 Severity: normal I tried to create logic drives, linux compatible on i386. It take me several hours get it working. Problem is, the man page doesn't document the fact, that there always must 4 primary partitions. So if you only want to create logic partitions you have to add 3 empty partitions manually. example: this is wrong: sfdisk -uS --no-reread --force /dev/hdc << EOF ,,E ,39873230,FD ,20161575,FD ,13221495,FD ,7148925,FD ,39696615,FD ,39969720,FD ,755055,FD EOF this works: sfdisk -uS --no-reread --force /dev/hdc << EOF ,0, ,0, ,0, ,,E ,39873230,FD ,20161575,FD ,13221495,FD ,7148925,FD ,39696615,FD ,39969720,FD ,755055,FD EOF -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_AT@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii slang1a-utf8 1.4.9dbs-8 The S-Lang programming library wit ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
