Actually, it is also reproducible with Samba as the server, so it doesn't require Windows at all, just the MS protocol. ... > As FDISK is a very powerful thing, you should only test it if > you know how to recover from any accident during testing, > including "all partitions vanish"! > > A perfect thing to test for people who have a second PC or a > virtual computer which is free for experiments and which has > only easy to re-install data on it :-). I've got several machines sitting around that I'm just trying to find some useful purpose for! They're too new to just toss, but not fast enough for our everyday production use. My main issue is finding enough time to work on non-production stuff like this. I can justify some as an investment in looking for future improvements in our productivity and lowering our costs, but not a lot. ... > > Bugs marked as trivial or enh. usually count as feature > requests or feature suggestions.

I might be able to donate a machine to replace it, if you can tell me where to ship it... ....
