Description joshua 2012-04-11 21:10:56 EDT

Description of problem:

fdisk doesn't address most of today's new disks or GPTs.  Please remove it from the installer


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

All Fedora 17 installer / rescue images

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2012-04-12 10:27:50 EDT

fdisk is part of a larger package of tools and is very likely to be needed by some that don't need all of gdisk's functionality. I don't see any benefit in removing it.

Comment 2 joshua 2012-04-12 10:58:37 EDT

Interesting.  I thought though that parted did everything that fdisk did... does it not?

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2012-04-12 12:42:57 EDT

More. But I'm sure there are still people who expect fdisk to be available, either for rescue or for use in kickstarts.

Comment 4 Martin Gracik 2012-04-13 03:51:58 EDT

I like fdisk.
