if you rebuild util-linux with CFLAGS="-O1 -pipe", does it work ? (In reply to comment #1) > if you rebuild util-linux with CFLAGS="-O1 -pipe", does it work ? Huh? No, it doesn't. Remember, I'm trying to partition a disk for my Alpha, while using my PowerPC. util-linux's fdisk isnt very friendly like that ... the code has a lot of macro's to compile in support for diff things based upon the host arch seems that the fdisk code really only enables OSF handling on alpha systems ... so dont bother trying to access it on anything else for now Upstream fdisk is broken this way. Use parted for now, I think it supports OSF labels. |
