To whom it may concern, seems like I discovered a crash in util-linux-2.25.1: If you've created an extended partition using number 1, fdisk/cfdisk/whateveruseslibfdisk will crash when adding a new logical partition. Steps to reproduce: fdisk /dev/sda o, n, e, 1, .., n, l -> fdisk: libfdisk/src/dos.c:1161: add_logical: Assertion 'self_label(cxt)->ext_index' failed This does happen since 2.25, seems to come from [1]. Versions prior to 2.25 (2.24 tested) aren't effected and so are able to write a partition layout without primary partitions. During testing of this bug, I noticed a second crash when writing the partition table to the harddisk. I'm not aware of how to reproduce it.
