Hello,

I've just noticed that I don't have cfdisk in my recently installed
Wheezy. Is this a matter of some mis-configuration on my part or is it

When the partitions are not listed in disk order, how does one know
which of them is the "bad" one?

As a first step, I tried using cfdisk -Ps /dev/sda, and got the
ominous warning:
FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 2: Partition ends in the final partial
cylinder
Since linux is working, I'm worried that trying to fix whatever this
problem is might wreck my system.

Hi Gang
After the upgrade to Squeeze I found that cfdisk no longer displays
the disk Labels and fdisk now shows that all my partitions have problems.
This was not the case before the upgrade and does not occur on

Anyone else seeing this??

I think that that I can run cfdisk on /dev/sda, but can't run cfdisk on
/dev/sdb where those ext3 filesystems are, so mybe this is not an UUID
issue but a partition problem.

I remember now that cfdisk warns you that you may need to reboot in
order to read the new partition table properly, but it just didn't
