(please CC me on replies) Hello, I'm afraid I've hit a bug that has been introduced in 2.25 and still not fixed in current git. I start with the following disk layout: Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdb1 * 63 93755339 93755277 44.7G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sdb2 93755392 234439534 140684143 67.1G 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 93757440 135700479 41943040 20G 83 Linux Now I start cfdisk and remove sdb5, and create a larger partition on top of it. At this point, cfdisk shows correct disk layout (sdb1, sdb2 and new sdb5), so I save it. However, the partition table written to disk is incorrect: Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdb1 93757440 146186239 52428800 25G 83 Linux As far as I can see, cfdisk removed both the primary and extended partitions, and wrote my new logical partition as primary. As you can guess, this is rather unexpected and undesired. I can consistently reproduce the issue. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
