That happens to work. But when it breaks its now difficult to see whats actually on disk. Now that fdisk from util-linux 2.23.2 has gpt support its unable to print the msdos partition table. It would be nice if fdisk gets some do-it-anyway flag to ignore gpt for a moment and at least dump such content. Thanks. Olaf
