RHBA-2015:0554 - gdisk bug fix update
Synopsis
gdisk bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated gdisk packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The gdisk packages provide a fdisk-like partitioning tool for GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks. GPT fdisk features a command-line interface, fairly direct manipulation of partition table structures, recovery tools fort dealing with corrupt partition tables, and the ability to convert Master Boot Record (MBR) disks to GPT format.
This update fixes the following bug:
- When accessing a disk to create a partition using the sgdisk utility, in certain cases, the access could be unaligned. In such a situation, an error was returned and sgdisk failed to create the partition. A patch has been provided to properly align accesses to fit the device characteristics, and sgdisk now works as expected. (BZ#1087353)
Users of gdisk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
