Bug 120741 – sys-block/gpart: -amd64 keywording

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-01-28 09:24:53 UTC]

I'm going to keyword gpart -amd64 until it's tested and fixed to work with 64-bit systems. In those, it does not run at all:

flame@enterprise ~ $ gpart -g /dev/loop0

*** Fatal error: dev(/dev/loop0): seek failure.

while the 32-bit compiler version seems to work. The problem might be due to the way it's defining its own lseek 64-bit function.

Unfortunately neither GCC 4.0 nor 4.1 seems to bail out while building it so the bug is non-trivial.

alright

I have copied some patches from Debian to have gpart running on my amd64 arch.

This patch should introduce ext3 support (looking at Debian changelog) but it doesn't work properly with my disk :-(

Please open a new bug, don't abuse your editbugs to reopen a three years old bug.
