I was debugging a user issue and now the user installed hardy on the machine that had dapper so I can't get more details. What I can say is that hardy ppc now has a GNU fdisk 1.0, what ever that means. And I can confirm that issuing fdisk -v in dapper gives me version 0.4a2 and looking at /usr/sbin fdisk is linked to mac-fdisk
What I noticed is that there seems to be three implementations of fdisk: 1. mac-fdisk 2. "fdisk" (which is what I see in redhat ppc for instance and that matches the version of x86 fdisk) 3. GNU fdisk The version in dapper ppc (mac-fdisk) is missing the "-S" parameter for example which is useful to get partition size. I can't really help further as I'm also lost on all these fdisk versions and implementations. Feel free to close this bug if you think you also can't/not a priority to solve the puzzle. -- fdisk version in dapper ppc is too old https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259467 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
