[Bug 1288564] Re: [beta1] tool fdisk do not support disks with more than 65535 cylinders
Another workaround is to use ddisk, which appears to be the util-linux version of fdisk on ppc. Confusing! I agree it would be nice to get rid of mac-fdisk completely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1288564 Title: [beta1] tool fdisk do not support disks with more than 65535 cylinders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mac-fdisk/+bug/1288564/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1288564] Re: [beta1] tool fdisk do not support disks with more than 65535 cylinders
I could able to create partitions on large disk using 'parted' command. root@ubuntu:~# parted -l Model: QEMU QEMU HARDDISK (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1143GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 100GB 100GB primary ext3 2 100GB 500GB 400GB primary 3 501GB 1000GB 499GB primary 4 1000GB 1143GB 143GB primary If fdisk is not maintained to support ubuntu, we will use parted, so we can close this bug.

[Bug 1288564] Re: [beta1] tool fdisk do not support disks with more than 65535 cylinders
So on ppc, fdisk is provided by the mac-fdisk package, which appears to be long unmaintained and falling apart. It should probably be removed as soon as we finally update util-linux, which I believe now has mac partition table support upstream. In the mean time, use parted rather than fdisk. ** No longer affects: linux (Ubuntu) ** Package changed: util-linux (Ubuntu) => mac-fdisk (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: mac-fdisk (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1288564 Title: [beta1] tool fdisk do not support disks with more than 65535 cylinders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mac-fdisk/+bug/1288564/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is very strange.. fdisk has defaulted to using sectors rather than the long obsolete/nonsense cylinders for quite some time now.
