util-linux doesn't appear to include fdisk on 14.04.3; it only has cfdisk and sfdisk. We checked on a Ubuntu 15.10 guest and it has a separate fdisk binary in util-linux, so this looks like a bug in 14.04.3 with util-linux missing the fdisk binary. ***** From Ubuntu 14.04.3: ***** root@maplelp1:~# dpkg -L util-linux | grep fdisk /sbin/sfdisk /sbin/cfdisk /usr/share/man/man8/cfdisk.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/sfdisk.8.gz /usr/share/doc/util-linux/README.fdisk.gz /usr/share/doc/util-linux/README.cfdisk /usr/share/doc/util-linux/examples/sfdisk.examples.gz root@maplelp1:~# ls -l /sbin/*fdisk* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 65904 Feb 12 12:54 /sbin/cfdisk lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 14 07:52 /sbin/fdisk -> pmac-fdisk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43432 Feb 17 2014 /sbin/mac-fdisk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 44760 Feb 17 2014 /sbin/pmac-fdisk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 69408 Feb 12 12:54 /sbin/sfdisk root@maplelp1:~# dpkg -l | grep "fdisk\|util-linux" ii mac-fdisk 0.1-16ubuntu2 ppc64el Apple disk partition manipulation tool ii pmac-fdisk 0.1-16ubuntu2 ppc64el fdisk partition manipulation tool for PowerPC ii util-linux 2.20.1-5.1ubuntu20.4 ppc64el Miscellaneous system utilities ***** From Ubuntu 15.10: **** root@flyg3:~# dpkg -L util-linux | grep fdisk /sbin/cfdisk /sbin/sfdisk /sbin/fdisk /usr/share/man/man8/fdisk.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/sfdisk.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/cfdisk.8.gz /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/cfdisk /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/sfdisk /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/fdisk root@flyg3:~# ls -l /sbin/*fdisk* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 133568 Jul 3 10:47 /sbin/cfdisk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 135888 Jul 3 10:47 /sbin/fdisk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 67984 Jul 3 10:41 /sbin/mac-fdisk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 69336 Jul 3 10:41 /sbin/pmac-fdisk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 133248 Jul 3 10:47 /sbin/sfdisk -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1473934 Title: ISST-LTE: pmac-fdisk doesn't work with mpath devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mac-fdisk/+bug/1473934/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
