I would really like to have -L enabled by default on linux. Project name
is util-LINUX and if we even run it on linux, why being still bothered
per default?
BTW we have some more warnings of this kind in libfdisk/src/dos.c
where we don't have option -L:
/* Same physical / logical beginning? */
if (cxt->geom.cylinders <= 1024
&& (pbc != lbc || pbh != lbh || pbs != lbs)) {
fdisk_warnx(cxt, _("Partition %zu: different physical/logical "
"beginnings (non-Linux?): "
"phys=(%d, %d, %d), logical=(%d, %d, %d)"),
partition + 1,
pbc, pbh, pbs,
lbc, lbh, lbs);
}
