After a suggestion on the BUG report system i have put the cast (ext2_loff_t) at two places in the source file. It seems to work now. Specialists please verify that this does not break anything else. diff cfdisk.c cfdisk.orig 396c396 < if (ext2_llseek(fd, (ext2_loff_t)sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE, SEEK_SET) < 0) --- > if (ext2_llseek(fd, sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE, SEEK_SET) < 0) 404c404 < if (ext2_llseek(fd, (ext2_loff_t)sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE, SEEK_SET) < 0) --- > if (ext2_llseek(fd, sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE, SEEK_SET) < 0) P.S. There is an attempt to correct this in the debian package util-linux, but it is unfortunately applied uneffectively: NIL: if (ext2_llseek(fd, (ext2_loff_t)(sect_num*SECTOR_SIZE), SEEK_SET) < 0) Stelios Parnassidis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kapuzinerstr. 8, 80337 Muenchen, Germany, Tel. +49-089-7211505
