Package: util-linux
Version: 2.16.2-0
Severity: wishlist
File: /sbin/fdisk

Hello,

Fdisk is today getting more and more outdated, and visibly you are getting lot 
of work with the util-linux.
I wish you can handle this swift evolution with hardware, and keeping the util 
disk linux up to date. It is certainly over work you have nowadays, seeing the 
list of tasks you have on the sourceforge.

I hope you can make it good, because fdisk is the key for linux users for using 
harddisks and data.

So a wishlist, would be that fdisk -l, when listing all disks, offers the 
information of UID and labels. 
This would be very important to configure the machines. 
Alternatively one could do: fdisk -le , with 'e' for extended for larger 
inforamtion.

All the best
Y.
