From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050719 Fedora/1.7.10-1.5.1 Description of problem: I used the sfdisk from the rescue CD. When I try to partition a disk with "sfdisk /dev/sda < /mnt/usb/sda.part" from a file I had previously written with "sfdisk -d /dev/sda > sda.part" I get a "buffer overlow" error. See above URL for details. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sfdisk 3.08 / util-linux-2.12p How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from rescue CD 2. Dump partition table into file with "sfdisk -d /dev/sda > sda.part" 3. Partition disk with "sfdisk /dev/sda < sda.part" Actual Results: Buffer overflow error Expected Results: Partition hard disk Additional info:
Please, I need exact package version: rpm -q util-linux It seems like bug #159418 that should be fixed in >= util-linux-2.12p-9.5
"rpm -q util-linux" does not make any sense on the rescue CD. "sfdisk /dev/sda < sda.part" works fine with a sfdisk that I linked statically from util-linux-2.12p-9.3.src.rpm. It does work with a normally linked sfdisk from util-linux-2.12p-9.7, too. But this does not help when using the rescue CD.
We don't update stage2 images after GA release. So I cannot help you. Closing with status NEXTRELEASE. Sorry.
