[Trinux-talk] chkfixed and logical partitions

[<HHu...@t-...>]

Hallo, trinux-talk,


"/sbin/chkfixed" does not recognize extended partitions.


It tests the "dmesg" output, may be:

Partition check:
 hda: hda4
 hdc: [PTBL] [621/128/63] hdc1 hdc2 < hdc5 hdc6 >


And then it takes every entry as a possible partition, including "<" or  
"[PTBL]".

Testing the output of "fdisk -l" would be the better choice - including  
the partition format.
Ok - if there is a CD-ROM, fdisk needs much time to recognize that there  
is no CD inserted.

Viele Gruesse!
