fdisk Ctrl+C

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

A few questions, ideas

1. Could Ctrl+C be added to get out of changing a partition type?

2 Could the partition code check that it is hex. At the moment if I type 'q' I get partition type 0.

3.
For partition type 0, which is called "Empty" probably this message should say "Empty" and not 'unknown' ?

=======
Changed type of partition 'W95 FAT32 (LBA)' to 'unknown'.
=======

Would a patch be accepted for this?


NB. See log below for more info.

Regards, Jonny

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.31.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

Type 0 means free space to many systems. Having partitions of type 0 is probably unwise.
