[Gptfdisk-general] gdisk or cgdisk change name of partition UTF-16 problem

[Joe v. T. <jo...@sh...>]

I'm running gdisk 0.8.5 on Mac OS X 10.7.4.

I get errors when attempting to change a partition name. If I don't get an
error, the partition appears to have no name after the change.

Command (? for help): c
