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. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnu-fdisk depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.0.3 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-8 ii libc6 2.13-20 ii libncurses5 5.9-1 ii libparted0debian1 2.3-8 ii libreadline6 6.2-4 ii libuuid1 2.19.1-5 gnu-fdisk recommends no packages. gnu-fdisk suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
