Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12r-19
Severity: whishlist
Having -C -H -S parameters and working from the command line with
sfdisk -d style here documents makes sfdisk suited to making disc
images for virtual machines or automatic installation.
It issues a warning about file not being a block device, but then does
BLKRRPART ioctl anyway. Be tidier if it did not do BLKRRPART ioctl.
Warning: sfdisk.img is not a block device
