Package: util-linux Version: 2.12r-19 Hi, on this specific disc i fail to create a second partition in the SGI Disklabel. Creating a second disc only offers 0 or 1 as the start cylinder both beeing in use already and non working. Only way out is CTRL-C:

Building a new SGI disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
