From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.6 sun4u) I created an empty extended partition during install (with fdisk). Now that the system is running if I try to run fdisk on the disk, it loops endlessly with the error "omitting empty partition (5)" constantly repeated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run fdisk /dev/hda on my machine. 2. 3.
Same here. This last worked in util-linux-2.10m-12.
We (Red Hat) should really fix this before next release
Tim, can you send me your partition table please? Just the first 1k of the device will do.
Fixed in util-linux-2.10p-5, and forwarded to util-linux maintainers.
