Description Martin Simon 2014-04-14 05:11:19 EDT
Description of problem:
Test script in source package failed on creating partition using sgdisk. If there is really problem, it should be fixed. Otherwise, the test should be updated and fixed. If it would be possible, we would like to execute the test script regularly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdisk-0.8.6-4.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download srpm package
2. rpm -ivh pkg.srpm
3. cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCE
4. extract the archive and switch to new directory
5. make
6. ./gdisk_test.sh

Actual results:
-- output of testing gdisk - all passed --
**Testing sgdisk binary**

Creating new GPT entries.
Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
The operation has completed successfully.
**SUCCESS** Create new empty GPT table

Information: Moved requested sector from 34 to 2048 in
order to align on 2048-sector boundaries.
Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
The operation has completed successfully.
**FAILED** Create new partition

Expected results:
Everything should pass
