I realize this is probably just seen as noise. But I think its important that everyone here understand.
Growpart supports using either fdisk or gdisk. But I have recently considered deleting the gdisk support. I'm curious why fdisk is seen as "an old package". fdisk/sfdisk supports GPT partition tables and has for several years. Also, * it is part of util-linux source (which is Essential). * It is maintained and updated (107 commits reference fdisk in util linux since Jan 1, 2019. gpt-fdisk has 25 total commits in that time frame. As much infrastructure is shared with other util-linux tools, that count is not complete). * fdisk (installed 505, size 119712) is smaller than gdisk (installed 860, size 214516) and has fewer dependencies. * In my opinion, sfdisk is dramatically more usable than sgdisk. * I'd even argue that the ui of fdisk is better than gdisk. If the goal is to have one "partitioner", then fdisk/sfdisk is probably the one to keep. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876139 Title: Groovy cloud-images failing during growpart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1876139/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
