[Parted-maintainers] Bug#810735: fatresize: fails to open /dev/mmcblk0p1

[Eduard Bloch]

Package: fatresize
Version: 1.0.2-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Trying to resize an SD card in the onboard reader, with the partition
/dev/mmcblk0p1.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?

fatresize 1.0.2 (11/06/15)
.Error: Could not stat device /dev/mmcblk0p - No such file or directory.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Not fail. I quickly realized that it garbles the filename. First I
expected something with a stupid short buffer for the filename but then
I discovered that it uses the most basic assumption while deriving the
harddisk device name. And a p prefix before partition name is not part
of that scheme.

Patch attached.

Regards,
Eduard.
