fdisk does not detect MAC-filesystem
Last modified: 2005-09-05 12:20:49 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
Created attachment 45711 [details] 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.)
Andreas, ok for 10.0? Patrick, you've sent this to Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>?
Ok for 10.0.
SUbmitted for STABLE.
yes i have sent it to bunk@stusta.de .
MAC is the link layer address for ethernet. While Mac is the shortcut for Macintosh.
its in beta2. pkirsch can you verify that it works?
tested with beta2, Yes, It works.
ok fixed
I still see 'MAC' in the patch.
sorry, my fault, now it should be correct
I don't see a new util-linux package, is there a patch that needs correction or such?
corrected patch: util-linux-2.11q-fs_mac.diff changed 'MAC' to 'Mac'.
And where is that corrected patch?
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.

I just want to make sure it's in, because there's no update in /work/src/done/STABLE. When did you submitpac this?
Submitted for STABLE by me.
hups, i used 'submitpac' with '-r ppc' and not stable. i did submitpac at 11.15 (nbg time). Now it seems all right.
