Severity: wishlist
File: /sbin/sfdisk

Hi,

I would like to see sfdisk accepting units in the size field of input,
like

,200c,0x83,*
,2050m,0x82,
,,0x8e,
;

That would create hdx1 with 200 cylinders, and hdx2 with 2050 megabytes.

Greetings
Marc

The sfdisk utility has been completely rewritten in new upstream release v2.26.
As previously mentioned the behaviour should be implemented in the
new upstream release.
