Package: util-linux
Version: 2.17.2-3.1
Severity: normal
README.fdisk says:
+15m
Make the partition at least 15 megabytes in size.
+12500k
Make the partition at least 12,500 kilobytes in size.
These examples are incorrect; suffixes must be entered in upper-case.
Also, the use of base-10 suffixes is not documented, except by the
error message that appears if the entered size is not recognised:
Unsupported suffix: 'm'.
Supported: 10^N: KB (KiloByte), MB (MegaByte), GB (GigaByte)
2^N: K (KibiByte), M (MebiByte), G (GibiByte)
This information should be included in the manual page and perhaps in
the prompt for partition size.
Ben.
