Description Thornton Prime 2001-07-06 18:50:46 UTC

Description of problem:
Existing partitions for /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc are read correctly by fdisk,
but the new fangled disk druid (in GUI or text mode) reads partition table
from outer space.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select DiskDruid as partition method, either GUI or text mode.
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  DiskDruid sees:

/dev/hdb1       1       1       0M      None
/dev/hdb2       1       1       0M      None
/dev/hdb3       1       1       0M      None
/dev/hdb4       1       1       0M      None
/dev/hdb5       1       128     1000M   None
/dev/hdb6       128     256     1000M   None
/dev/hdb7       256     784     4149M   None

/dev/hdc3       1       1       0      None
/dev/hdc4       1       1       0      None
/dev/hdc5       1       2047    1006   None
/dev/hdc6       2047    2345    146    None
/dev/hdc7       2345    3535    585    None

Free space      8184    8184    0      Free space


Expected Results:  fdisk sees:

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb1             1       784   6297448+  fd  Linux raid autodetect


   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1             1      8184   4124704+  fd  Linux raid autodetect

I *think* this is fixed for beta2.  Please retest with beta2.
