Description Patrick Kirsch 2005-08-11 11:29:03 UTC 
fdisk on mac prints: 
 
apple:~/tmp/fdisk # LANG= fdisk -l 
 
Disk /dev/sda: 9139 MB, 9139200000 bytes 
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 8715 cylinders 
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes 
 
Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table 
 
although there is 
 
->patch available

fdisk filesystem mac 

changes output with mac-fs to:

apple:~/tmp/fdisk # ./fdisk -l

	There is a valid MAC label on this disk.
	Unfortunately Linux cannot handle these
	disks at the moment.  Nevertheless some
	advice:
	1. fdisk will destroy its contents on write.
	2. Be sure that this disk is NOT a still vital
	   part of a volume group. (Otherwise you may
	   erase the other disks as well, if unmirrored.)

Comment 6 Olaf Hering 2005-08-17 11:11:59 UTC 
MAC is the link layer address for ethernet.
While Mac is the shortcut for Macintosh.

I still see 'MAC' in the patch.
Comment 11 Patrick Kirsch 2005-09-05 09:34:11 UTC 
sorry, my fault, now it should be correct
Comment 12 Mads Martin Joergensen 2005-09-05 09:51:38 UTC 
I don't see a new util-linux package, is there a patch that needs correction or
such?
Comment 13 Patrick Kirsch 2005-09-05 10:03:06 UTC 
corrected patch: util-linux-2.11q-fs_mac.diff
changed 'MAC' to 'Mac'.
Comment 14 Mads Martin Joergensen 2005-09-05 10:11:00 UTC 
And where is that corrected patch?
Comment 15 Patrick Kirsch 2005-09-05 11:13:09 UTC 
I did not create a new one. Please see util-linux-2.11q-fs_mac.diff.
I did a submitpac.
Alternativly i add the corrected util-linux-2.11q-fs_mac.diff patch.

Comment 17 Mads Martin Joergensen 2005-09-05 11:18:47 UTC 
I just want to make sure it's in, because there's no update in
/work/src/done/STABLE. When did you submitpac this?
Comment 18 Mads Martin Joergensen 2005-09-05 12:05:46 UTC 
Submitted for STABLE by me.
Comment 19 Patrick Kirsch 2005-09-05 12:20:49 UTC 
hups, i used 'submitpac' with '-r ppc' and not stable. 
i did submitpac at 11.15 (nbg time).
Now it seems all right.
