--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Installed today a Niagara t2000 everything went fine. After selecting to write a complete new clean disklabel the disksize was lowerd to about 46GB. see below. both drives are physically the same size. the sda output is after using partitiontool in d-i t2000:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 24 heads, 424 sectors, 8922 cylinders Units = cylinders of 10176 * 512 bytes Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 0 49 249312 83 Linux native /dev/sda2 49 817 3907584 83 Linux native /dev/sda3 0 8924 45405312 5 Whole disk /dev/sda4 817 1009 976896 82 Linux swap t2000:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb (Sun disk label): 24 heads, 424 sectors, 14087 cylinders Units = cylinders of 10176 * 512 bytes Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 0 26 132288 2 SunOS root /dev/sdb2 u 26 52 132288 3 SunOS swap /dev/sdb3 u 0 14087 71674656 5 Whole disk /dev/sdb7 52 14087 71410080 4 SunOS usr t2000:~# This below helps. If i select new label the partition tool tells me it will write the parttable *now*. Why dont do dd at this point at hotfix? :) 12:06:37 < fabbione> codebreaker: the only workaround to the 73GB problem is to switch to console and dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX count=1 bs=512 12:06:46 < fabbione> that will reset the partition table 100% 12:06:49 < fabbione> so be careful 12:06:52 -!- basjo [[email protected]] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 12:06:53 < fabbione> and restart partitioner 12:06:57 < fabbione> the bug lies in libparted 12:07:17 < codebreaker> fabbione: and then this gives me 73gb in the partitioner? 12:07:24 < fabbione> codebreaker: yes it should 12:07:32 < codebreaker> fabbione: okay. i will try 12:07:37 < fabbione> (assuming that other bug didn't show up since last i checked) 12:07:49 < fabbione> codebreaker: remember it will kill the disk partition layout -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.7AMD Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15)
