This would be linux-utils, but be warned the fdisk code is competely FUBAR. I gave up on it when I realized that some mysterious segfaults ware caused by unaligned pointer arithmetic and/or conversion of some data to little endianness, and changing those would likely have broken fdisk for other architectures. A testcase which always "worked" for me on IP22: create a DVH with parted, and then try to read/change it with fdisk. Apparently parted poisons the DVH for fdisk. :-) Thiemo |
