Please see: http://bugs.busybox.net/view.php?id=1333 The problem is that CONFIG_LFS are too coarse. It's possible (and I'd say "typical") that people turn off LFS, but want *some* utilities to be special. Come on, admit that < 2 GB disk size is a real limitation. The solution is simple: introduce CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_LFS which overrides CONFIG_LFS just for fdisk. This way you *and* submitter of bug 1333 will be happy. -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
