I'm pretty sure this used to work, but on my amd64 system here,
fdisk fails on an mbr backup file:
|# ls -l test.mbr
|-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 2009-04-14 21:36 test.mbr
|# fdisk -l test.mbr
|# echo $?
|0
|# fdisk test.mbr
|
|Unable to read test.mbr
Also, I think it should return != 0 on error.
Strace shows it seems to read the contents just fine:
|open("test.mbr", O_RDWR) = 3
