Bug 12841

Hi,

using sfdisk to print out and re-deploy the partition layout fails in version 2.35 and 2.35.1:

# sfdisk -v
sfdisk from util-linux 2.35.1
# sfdisk --dump /dev/sda > sda.partitions
# sfdisk /dev/sda < sda.partitions
...
>>> Script header accepted.
>>> line 5: unsupported command
...

Some more details can be found in this bugreport: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/issues/11200 (I know Alpine is unrelated but it's got all the details in there)

Seems like this is fixed upstream already: https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/d8c68b52cc939a16f04ec976648a37f5f5de718c

I am wondering if buildroot wants to add a patch to fix this while waiting for the next util-linux version to be released. Suggested fix:

Thanks in advance!
