Release     : 1.el6

Summary     : An fdisk-like partitioning tool for GPT disks
Description :
An fdisk-like partitioning tool for GPT disks. GPT fdisk features a
command-line interface, fairly direct manipulation of partition table
structures, recovery tools to help you deal with corrupt partition
tables, and the ability to convert MBR disks to GPT format.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Update to 0.8.7:
- Added "-a" option to cgdisk to use a ">" symbol to the left of the selected partition rather than ncurses highlighting.
- Modified "converting MBR to GPT" message to clarify that the conversion is being held in memory, since some people have mistakenly assumed that a "gdisk -l" operation will change an MBR disk to a GPT disk without prompting.
- Added partition type code for freedesktop.org's proposed $BOOT partition (bc13c2ff-59e6-4262-a352-b275fd6f7172; GPT fdisk type code EA00)
- Adjusted alignment code when using -n or -N in sgdisk to keep the requested partition size (if specified using +###{MGT} terminology) as the requested value rather than relative to the requested start point. This gives you the requested partition size rather than be slightly smaller if sgdisk needs to adjust the start point up a bit and it prevents gaps from appearing between partitions if several are created in succession using automatic placement of the start point.
- Removed stray debug message that would appear when reading MBR disks.
- Added partition type code for Intel Rapid Start partition (GUID
  D3BFE2DE-3DAF-11DF-BA40-E3A556D89593, code 8400), used by systems that implement Intel's Rapid Start technology. See http://blog.adios.tw/2012/10/funtoo-linux-and-intel-rapid-start.html or http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/26022.html.
- Added partition type code for Haiku BFS (GUID
  42465331-3BA3-10F1-802A-4861696B7521; code EB00).
- Fixed a bug that could cause sgdisk to crash when passing a partition number of 0 to the -t option.
- Added a new check to the verification code.
- Added partition type code for Sony system partition  (F4019732-066E-4E12-8273-346C5641494F). I'm not entirely clear what this is used for, but it's appearing on some new Sony computers.
- Tweaked hybrid MBR creation options to fix a problem that caused the main 0xEE MBR partition to NOT be created if the user told gdisk to NOT place it at the start of the disk AND IF fewer than three partitions are hybridize AND IF the user opted to create a second protective partition.
- Added partition type codes for VMWare ESX (FB00, FB01, and FC00).
- Added type codes for Midnight BSD (0xA580 - 0xA585). I used these codes because Midnight BSD uses the same 0xA5 type code as FreeBSD on MBR disks, so I'm starting Midnight BSD's numbering halfway through the 0xA5## range.
