Package: gnu-fdisk
Version: 1.2.4-3+b1
Severity: normal
It seems that -b only takes values up to 2k, and the manpage even
discourages its use. The problem is that newer drives use "advanced
format", meaning 4k blocks, but they report 512b blocks. It would be
useful if I could actually tell parted about this, since it fails to
recognise the fact.
Please let -b take a value of 4096. Right now, it displays wrong
values and exits with a floating point exception if I try.
