Description Dirk 2006-08-05 04:58:02 UTC 
Hello,

I did not use mac-fdisk for a while, but today I noticed the following error with the latest mac-fdisk.

The command mac-fdisk -l produced :

willow linux # mac-fdisk -l
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 65535.
This is larger than 1024, and may cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software form other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 65535 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System

I reverted to mac-fdisk-0.1-r4 and everything was back to normal.

BTW emerge of mac-fdisk-0.1-r5 completed without error. Before reverting I reemerged mac-fdisk-0.1-r5 and also util-linux.

emerge --info

Comment 1 Wormo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-08 16:42:52 UTC 
Aha, I see what happened -- the cleanup of mac-fdisk ebuild ended up swapping names of the mac-fdisk and mac-pdisk binaries. Technically the executables still work, but this is way too confusing so I'm going to kill -r5 and add a new -r6 ebuild that gets back to the standard names.
Comment 2 Wormo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-08 16:51:38 UTC 
Sorry, I meant mac-fdisk and pmac-fdisk got swapped (original names prior to merge are pdisk and fdisk respectively, see how confusing this is?)

Anyways, we're back to pre-r5 naming scheme now.
