Subject: fdisk interactive 'v' usage does not always work
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 15:12:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140820151202.79f70dc5@amanda.local.lan> (raw)

Hello.

Using fdisk from util-linux 2.25 is doing what is best shown in an example.

# truncate -s 16M bin
# losetup -f bin
(use this to find where it looped)
# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [65024]:292804 (/root/bin)
# fdisk /dev/loop0

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.25).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x7235e130.

Command (m for help): v
Remaining 32767 unallocated 512-byte sectors.

Command (m for help): n

(now just accept all the defaults)

Partition type
p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free)
e extended (container for logical partitions)
Select (default p):

Using default response p.
Partition number (1-4, default 1):
First sector (2048-32767, default 2048):
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-32767, default 32767):

Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux' and of size 15 MiB.

Command (m for help): v

Command (m for help):

---

It used to print
Remaining 2047 unallocated 512-byte sectors.
for a layout like this but now prints nothing.
