------- Comment From ckuma...@in.ibm.com 2015-02-21 22:05 EDT------- Dave, You are right GNU-fdisk is deprecated/not_maintained, but to my knowledge fdisk.distrib is maintained and shipped with util-linux.
fdisk-distrib works fine as far as disk partitioning is concerned, but it creates block device with file names as mpath23-partN, but the expected one is mpath23pN as can be seen in the outputs of kpartx and 'fdisk.distrib -l' Commands 'kpartx' and 'fdisk.distrib -l' reads partition as "/dev/mapper/mpath23p1" but actually file created by 'fdisk.distrib' is "/dev/mapper/mpath23-part1" So referring to the output of commands "kpartx and fdisk.distrib -l" (which most scripts do to get partition path list), we can see a failure while trying to create FS on one of the partitions. Which is obvious because "fdisk.distrib" created the file with different name in directory "/dev/mapper" while lists it with a different name. Let me know, if this issue makes enough sense?
