[Parted-maintainers] Bug#632039: gnu-fdisk: I's more than one byte

[Michal Suchanek]

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


# blockdev --getsize64 /dev/sda

# fdisk -l /dev/sda | grep sda:
Disk /dev/sda: 32 GB, 32012789760 bytes

# smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep User
User Capacity:    32,017,047,552 bytes [32.0 GB]

Gnu fdisk is clearly wrong here as three other tools agree on value
different from what gnu fdisk reports.
