Package: gdisk Version: 1.0.7-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@joshtriplett.org
When gdisk or sgdisk modifies a partition table, it issues ioctl commands to the kernel to tell it to reload the partition table, then sleeps to wait for the kernel to have done so. When scripting the creation of a disk image, the ioctls don't function, and the sleep is unnecessary. Please consider providing an option to skip both the ioctls and the subsequent sleep. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: arm64 Kernel: Linux 5.12.8 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gdisk depends on: ii libc6 2.31-12 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.1-6 ii libncursesw6 6.2+20201114-2 ii libpopt0 1.18-2 ii libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 ii libtinfo6 6.2+20201114-2 ii libuuid1 2.36.1-7 Versions of packages gdisk recommends: ii groff-base 1.22.4-6 gdisk suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
