Subject: fdisk partition reorder fails
Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 18:49:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140402164925.GA13910@aepfle.de> (raw)
This is fdisk from openSUSE 13.1. I have added partitions 15+ with
parted. Once I'm done with repartitioning, I wanted to sort the
partitions with fdisk like I have done it in the past. Too bad, this
fails with the version included. The start sector is all scrambled and
outside the disk. Lukily, this time I did not write it to disk.
Looks like 2.24.1, included in Factory, is still broken.

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.23.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.
