Dear util-linux users/developers:
I have been using cfdisk for several years
for editing my disks' partitions.
I noticed/read that util-linux after version
~2.23 has been completely rewritten.
Currently I have version 2.28 which comes
with default openSUSE Leap 42.2.
This version doesn't show volume labels
and it doesn't indicate the file systems
on the partitions (eg ext3, ext4).
It would be really nice if these options
could be added back to cfdisk.
There is also a problem I don't know how
to solve. I have a disk with several partitions:
Device Boot Start End Sectors
Size Id Type
/dev/sdd1 * 2048 104859647
104857600 50G 83 Linux
/dev/sdd2 104859648 209717247
104857600 50G 83 Linux
/dev/sdd3 209717248 336662877
126945630 60.5G 83 Linux
/dev/sdd4 336662878 516333837
179670960 85.7G 5 Extended
├─/dev/sdd5 336662941 340566672
3903732 1.9G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
├─/dev/sdd6 340566736 399155727
58588992 28G 83 Linux
├─/dev/sdd7 399155791 457744782
58588992 28G 83 Linux
└─/dev/sdd8 457744846 516333837
58588992 28G 83 Linux
Free space 516335616 625134190
108798575 51.9G
I would like to add a new logical partition to the
free space. I select/highlight free space, then select
"New".
I set the size of the new partition:
Partition size: 28G
But cfdisk doesn't create the new partition,
instead it says:
All primary partitions are in use.
How can I add new partition to the free space
using cfdisk?
This worked in cfdisk 2.23.
Thanks,
Istvan
