Description Marco Michna 2005-09-09 13:31:15 UTC 
When you do an fdisk -l on an non existant device then it returns the wrong  
error code and does not give an error like "device does not exist".  
  
How to reproduce:  - pick a non existant device like eg /dev/hdz 
                   - do fdisk -l <device> && echo $?
Comment 1 Mads Martin Joergensen 2005-09-09 13:39:40 UTC 
Well, it lists the 0 partitions there is on this device, and that's it. Changing
this behaviour might break existing scripts.
