16	Util-Linux - Fdisk	Jim Gifford	clfs-commits@…	"With the GCC 4.1 and Glibc 2.4, we have had reports of Linux 2.6.16.x having problems correctly identifying the hard drives, which prevents the hard disks from getting created by udev. A fix to util-linux is needed, I have wrote the maintainer to get his input, have not received any information back.

Have worked with Sparc Linux, it seems to be an issue with disks that fdisk creates the sun-disk label. We need people to test the other architectures. I have tests the following and do not have these issues with fdisk, incase it's a GCC 4.1 and GLIBC 2.4 issues.

x86 and MIPS are not affected by this.

A temporary solution would be to pull in parted, like we do for PPC. Parted does not show the same issues and is a valid work around."	defect	closed	blocker	CLFS Standard 1.0.0	BOOK	CLFS Standard 1.0.0	fixed
