Greetings,
Sorry if this isn't the place, but curiously, I could find no
bug-reporting info in the documentation, and definitely I consider this
one a bug! Adding experimental GPT support to fdisk has completely broken
its ability to read the MBR for a hybrid partitioning scheme. To be
blunt, I don't see the point in fdisk GPT support in any case; gdisk does
a *vastly* better job, and appears to be mature. At the least however,
there needs urgently to be a means by which GPT can be disabled
(command-line switch?) or by which fdisk can be forced to read an existing
MBR under _any_ circumstances.
On a related note, fdisk cannot differentiate between lower and upper-case
command input (e.g., `G' vs. `g' is rather pointless as things stand).
Cheerio,
Craig
