 |
|
After long time not using it I started yesterday cfdisk to check my hard disk(s). I was surprised to not seeing the label column anymore (the one showing the names of the partitions). Example of my first hard drive:
| Code: | Disk: /dev/sda
Size: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors
Label: dos, identifier: 0x67c8b4a4
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
>> /dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 204800 100M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 206848 839886847 839680000 400.4G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 839886848 871137279 31250432 14.9G 82 Linux swap / Solaris

I was expecting to see a column called "Label" somewhere but it seems to be gone!? I have util-linux 2.25.2 on my box:
| Code: | # cfdisk -V
cfdisk from util-linux 2.25.2
# _ |
Anyone knows what has happened?

| In 2.22.2 version label column exists. I`m catching this too at early arch linux installed. |

They seem to have made major changes in 2.25.2. Before (like in 2.24.1), it used to look like this:
| Code: | cfdisk (util-linux 2.24.1)
Disk Drive: /dev/sda
Size: 10737418240 bytes, 10.7 GB
Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 1305
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
