Hi,
unfortunately the bug is still not fixed despite the NMU; while sgdisk doesn't
print errors anymore, it also doesn't actually perform the requested operations.
See e.g.
# sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda
Creating new GPT entries in memory.
GPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the disk using fdisk or
other utilities.
Looks good, but no partition table has actually been created:
# parted -s /dev/sda print
Error: /dev/sda: unrecognised disk label
Model: VMware Virtual disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 10.7GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: unknown
Disk Flags:
So let's create a partition table with parted and verify that it's there:
# parted -s /dev/sda mklabel gpt
# parted -s /dev/sda print
Model: VMware Virtual disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 10.7GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
Now let's try to create a partition with sgdisk:
# sgdisk --set-alignment=1 --new=1:0:4M --typecode=1:EF02 --change-name=1:grub
No error message, but the partition isn't there:
# parted -s /dev/sda print
Model: VMware Virtual disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 10.7GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
Best regards,
András
