#cfdisk -P st /dev/hda Segmentation fault #cfdisk -v cfdisk 2.11n
My testing indicates this is caused when the MBR does not have a valid signature, which could be caused when somebody does a 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda' command. After a valid signature is written (with cfdisk or any other fdisk program), the fault goes away. A suggestion would be to test for this condition and handle as you see fit? BTW, I bring this to your attention because I believe 'cfdisk -P st <dev>' produces the most thorough and easy to read display of the partition table. I use it extensively to test many different drives that come to me with unknown contents. Also, I wish Redhat didn't remove it from their 7.1 util-linux rpm. (oh, well. sources are fine.) Thank you for your time. _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
