Re: fdisk

Is libsafe being pre-loaded in /etc/ld.so.preload ?

I had problems with fsck, fdisk, and mkfs.ext2 when libsafe was being 
preloaded.

If the partition table is in some weird format, and you don't care about 
the data on the disk. You could just wipe the disk clean before you 
fdisk it. 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda'
