Note that other operations on + the same command line might still have succeeded. + +- Added gdisk_test.sh shell script, contributed by Guillaume Delacour. + This script tests some common gdisk and sgdisk operations to be sure + they're working correctly. + +- Enable sgdisk's -l (--load-backup) and -o (--clear) options to work + even on disks that are damaged. Most other options will still be ignored, + though, so if you suspect a disk may be bad and want to use one of these + options, you should do so on a line by itself, followed by a separate + command to perform other actions (such as adding new partitions). + +- Added check for mis-matched primary and backup partition tables. + A mismatch is reported as a CRC error. + +- Added Apple Core Storage partition type code (hex code AF05, GUID + 53746F72-6167-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC). + +- Added cgdisk program to the family. This program is a rough workalike + to cfdisk, much as gdisk is a rough workalike to fdisk. See the cgdisk + man page or http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/cgdisk-walkthrough.html for + details about its operation. + +- Fixed bug that caused CHS end point for protective MBR to be set to + 0xfeffff rather than the spec-mandated 0xffffff on disks over ~8GB. This + is a very minor bug, since not much cares about this, and most other GPT + tools get it wrong in the same way, too. + 0.7.2 (6/26/2011): ------------------ |
