Hi, it looks like my mail never made it to the list. The problem is, the first resize puts the start of partition 5 on head 0, not head 1. So, Parted has to start the extended partition on the previo
For FAT (on Windows), the size of the partition must equal the size of the file system. Otherwise, Windows will silently destroy your file system. Also, it means you have "2 versions" of the MSDOS pa
Thus, it seems to me that Linux needs its own partition type code GUID for filesystem partitions on GPT disks, much as it has its own MBR partition type code for filesystems (0x83 on MBR). I'd like t
The only problem is that your BIOS will probably not be able to boot from it, so unless you use some kind of free bios implementation or even some kind of free OF or something such, you will never be
Hi Andrew, It seems, if reiserfs support is not installed, command mkpartfs primary reiserfs 0 2000 leads the following error: Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition Ah, ooops! Ba
Yeah, right... Already asked, already denied. Yep. What's there worth "reserving" on a single useful line of code which is a function prototype? Don't know. Problem is the functional algorithm has t
Cool :-) Excellent :-) This kind of stuff is probably insignificant for copyright purposes. (Obviously, we should talk to the FSF's lawyer, if we intend to use Intel code) Can we get them to change t
I started my EFI Guid Partition Table scheme work before I knew about the bug-parted list, so I'm to blame there. I'm happy to keep the discussion of this feature to the list. For any code I've writt
Thanks. This is helpful indeed, even if I don't take the time to write a test script to automate it. Please do not treat existing code as a model to be followed. You can tell from the irregular forma
Indeed, the suggestion is that you should at least take the take the time to familiarise yourself with the source of dd in general, and with your chosen implementation in particular. And of course, f
