Hi, The fixing fdisk item in our TODO list has been there as long as I can remember. We have been working on adding this to the Google Summer of Code 2012 program with openSUSE thanks to Petr. I am applying to do this, and wanted to share some details with the util-linux community, since in the end, any results will be added here. I am attaching some details of the application, any comments are welcome. Thanks, Davidlohr
