Hi, There seems to be some problem with the fru edit function. to be more exactly its the update of the header which seems to be wrong. if I edit a valid fru
ipmitool -H xxxx -U yyyy -P yyy -T 0x20 -B 0 -t 0x78 -b 7 fru edit 0 field b 0 "Uni Mainz" the header is not correctly updated. before edit: 0000 0000: 01 00 00 01 *04* *08* 00 F2 01 03 19 7D 94 9D C2 41 ........ ...}...A 0000 0010: 41 C2 42 42 C2 43 43 C2 44 44 C2 45 45 C1 00 0C A.BB.CC.

You can notice that all data is moved 8 bytes and the offset for the first record after the edited one is correctly modified. but the second offset for the multirecord area) is not modified. I guess around line 5050-5080 in ipmi_fru.c a line header.offset.multi += change_size_by_8; is missing (within some if statements...) I would like to notice that the parser of the FRU is not detecting the mismatch between header offsets and actual size of the records (overlap between product info and multirecord area). It would be nice to have the FRU information cross-checked before writing, e.g. overlaps/offset and checksums verified. maybe a command like fru check <file> for printing and check a dump would be nice to have here.
