Package: util-linux Version: 2.12p-5 Severity: minor File: /sbin/fdisk I notice if one is using fdisk on a regular file, # fdisk ~jidanni/tmp/sm One can get the impression one is writing to files,
Expert command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot. Syncing disks. However the file does not in fact get changed. So not only re-reading has a problem (I think he means writing had a problem, as didn't we read it OK upon starting?) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
