Subject: scsi BLKGETSIZE breakage in -pre2
Date: Fri, 09 Nov 2001 23:34:23 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3BECD87F.F53234B2@zip.com.au> (raw)
sd_ioctl() was changed to pass BLKGETSIZE off to blk_ioctl(),
but blk_ioctl() doesn't implement it.
So `cfdisk /dev/sda' is failing.
Simply copying the -ac version of blkpg.c across fixes
it for me.
