Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2013-11888

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : gdisk
Product     : Fedora EPEL 6
Version     : 0.8.8
Release     : 1.el6
URL         : http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/
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 0.8.8:
- Fixed bug that could cause segfault when passing an invalid partition number to sgdisk's -i/--info command.
- Added new type code: 933AC7E1-2EB4-4F13-B844-0E14E2AEF915, or gdisk code 8302, for Linux /home partitions. This type code is used by recent versions of systemd to permit /home to be auto-mounted; see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-gpt-auto-generator.html for details.
- Added new type code: 9E1A2D38-C612-4316-AA26-8B49521E5A8B, or gdisk code 4100, for PowerPC PReP (PowerPC reference platform) boot.
- The number of partition type codes has grown large enough that it fills an 80x24 display. I've therefore added a pause (with a prompt to hit  <Enter>) to display more items after showing 21 lines in gdisk or after the screen has nearly filled with entries in cgdisk. There's no such pause/prompt in sgdisk, though.
- Fine-tuned verification ('v') check for 0xEE partition that doesn't begin on sector 1: Previously, a disk with multiple 0xEE partitions would always trigger this warning. Now, the warning occurs only if NONE of the 0xEE partitions begins on sector 1.
- Fixed hybrid MBR creation on disks larger than 2TiB: Previously, if one opted to create an extra partition to cover unused space following hybridized partitions, gdisk would hang.
- Added check for an active/bootable 0xEE protective partition to the verify ('v') function. If found, this is not counted as an error, but it is called out to the user, since it can cause some EFIs (such as VirtualBox's EFI) to ignore the disk.
