[Parted-maintainers] Bug#632039: [gnu-fdisk] Reports disk size one byte less than the real size

[Roman Mamedov]

Package: gnu-fdisk
Version: 1.2.4-3+b1
Severity: normal

Hello,

# blockdev --getsize64 /dev/sda
2000398934016

# cfdisk /dev/sda
--
                              ATA Hitachi HDS5C302
      Disk: /dev/sda   Disk type: msdos    Size: 2000398934015B, 2000399MB

This is the case on all disks and all machines I tried.

On the same machines cfdisk from util-linux returns the proper disk size matching the output of "blockdev".
