Hi all, First two patches are just minor fixes unrelated to the rest. Third one makes sfdisk not to issue a fatal warning (overridable, though), if the partition does not start/end on the cylinder boundary and the unit specified is other than cylinders. These days, we shouldn't care about the CHS that much IMO... The last 4 sfdisk patches are followup to http://www.spinics.net/lists/util-linux-ng/msg04760.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/util-linux-ng/msg04761.html The goal these patches is to use 64 bit integer types in sfdisk to represent the sector numbers. This makes it easy to check if the numbers overflew the DOS pt limit, which is 2^32. I also tried to detect the overflow right at the moment when it happens (like Karel suggested), but this turned out to be ugly. I decided to use unsigned long long to represent the 64-bit integers, which might not be the best choice (maybe we should use off_t or uint64_t instead??). Comments are welcomed. Thanks, Petr Uzel (7): sfdisk: file descriptor is of int type sfdisk: fix weird indentation in msdos_partition() sfdisk: make the cylinder boundary check less fatal sfdisk: get_disksize() returns long long sfdisk: introduce get_ull() function sfdisk: use unsigned long long to internally represent sector number sfdisk: warn if partition exceeds partition table limits fdisk/sfdisk.c | 165 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 files changed, 121 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) -- 1.7.3.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
