Package: util-linux Version: 2.13-8 Severity: minor "In particular case use more advanced GNU parted(8)."
There are two problems with this: 1. It's not correct English. I suggest: "In this particular case use GNU parted(8)." (whether it's more advanced or not is irrelevant). 2. It's not clear in *what* case parted should be used. Two cases have just been described: the case where one is dealing with GPTs and the case where one is dealing with "large" partitions. If parted should be used in both cases, then the sentence should read: "In these cases, use GNU parted(8)." Also, it would be helpful to say how large "large" is. It doesn't matter if it's not a constant, but giving the user some clue as to when fdisk can't cope would be good. It might even be out of date; I use fdisk these days to deal with partitions of many Gb; are these not "large"? I don't know, so please tell us in the man page what "large" means! -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'experimental'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20071013-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libselinux1 2.0.15-2+b1 SELinux shared libraries ii libslang2 2.0.7-3 The S-Lang programming library - r ii libuuid1 1.40.2-1 universally unique id library ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii tzdata 2007h-2 time zone and daylight-saving time ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-6 compression library - runtime util-linux recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
