[Gptfdisk-general] gdisk 32-bit overflow bug on >2TB disks

[Sage W. <sa...@in...>]

Hi-

We hit a bug on sgdisk where it would create a new partition of the wrong 
size, apparently due to a 32-bit field used in the partition 
creating/sizing code.  It appears to trigger when we use syntax like

 2:-${size}M:0

Switching to

 2:0:${size}

does not have the same problem.

See this bug for details:

	http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/4757

It wasn't immediately obvious if this was fixed in a newer version (we're 
on ubuntu precise, 0.8.1-1build1).

Thanks!
