Hello, as reported in Debian bug report <https://bugs.debian.org/873452>: There is a minimum block device size to hold a valid GP table. If I understand the documents correctly it's 68 (512 byte) sectors and, violating the specification, as low as four - but that's not something gptfdisk should support anyway. However, the report above tells gdisk shows weird results when operating on a very small disk. Please consider implementing a sanity limit to avoid such a weirdness. Thanks in advance, Christoph |
