| NCommander | does anyone know if sfdisk is available as a udeb for d-i? | 17:04 |
| cjwatson | yes (fdisk-udeb), but let's please fix partman for your needs instead | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | or libparted or whatever | 17:07 |
| NCommander | cjwatson: I don't really want to teach parted proper CHS. I rather feed the partition map into sfdisk generated by parted and make it fix teh geometry on the fly | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | parted shouldn't *need* to be taught. as long as it can get the right geometry from /sys or whatever (or some override), and as long as you set partman/alignment=cylinder, that should be all it needs | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | it already has CHS support from the old days | 17:14 |
| cjwatson | geometry> or HDIO_GETGEO, etc. | 17:15 |
| NCommander | It doesn't work properly. It generates an invalid layout when I run parted directly | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | parted -a cylinder? | 17:15 |
| cjwatson | (also, not so much interested in the parted command-line tool; partman bypasses that) | 17:15 |
| NCommander | bah, that fixed it (mostly). It would be lovely if that was clearly menthoned in the blasted GNU book on the subject | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | man parted | 17:16 |
| cjwatson | ironically actually more useful than the info pages for this | 17:17 |
| NCommander | cjwatson: its there but the entire CHS thingin the 'info' | 17:17 |
| NCommander | yeah :-P | 17:17 |
| cjwatson | partman/alignment=cylinder is the equivalent of that for d-i | 17:18 |
| cjwatson | I think I mentioned that at UDS | 17:18 |
| NCommander | cjwatson: you did, but I was trying to confirm parted itself actually wrote proper CHS geomtry | 17:18 |
| cjwatson | well, that's not quite entirely useful by itself, since as I say partman doesn't use the parted command-line tool, and it applies its own partitioning constraints directly | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | so it's perhaps one part of it but is not as useful a test as it might seem | 17:19 |
| NCommander | fair enougnh, although I still don't have a working SD card which is really irritating | 17:20 |
| NCommander | cjwatson: using 'parted -a cylinder' generates invalid CHS geomtry when I check it with (s)fdisk. The official documentation says to use fdisk in expert mode, or sfdisk. You won't happen to know a parted guru would you? | 17:24 |
| cjwatson | give me a way to reproduce it, and I can probably play one on TV ... | 17:25 |
| cjwatson | Jim Meyering is the usual guru though | 17:26 |
| cjwatson | you could post a detailed report to bug-parted@gnu.org | 17:26 |
| NCommander | Well, maybe I should rephrase. What parted is doing MAY be valid, but is not what I need for OMAp3/4 bootloader | 17:26 |
| NCommander | my understanding is partitioning tools from this day and age should give me a device with 255 heads + 63 sectors, and X cylinders | 17:27 |
| NCommander | parted, when doing 'parted -a cylinder', and generating one 70 MiB partition, gave me 1 heads, 11 sectors/track, 704046 cylinders | 17:28 |
| NCommander | (my SD cad is 3965 MiB) | 17:28 |
| cjwatson | that sounds like a matter of misdetecting the hardware geometry | 17:29 |
| cjwatson | I would phrase it as a bug and see where that takes you | 17:29 |
| NCommander | Thanks | 17:30 |
| cjwatson | might even be a kernel bug | 17:33 |
