Subject: [PATCH] sfdisk: fix calculation due to type mismatch (ix86)
Instructing sfdisk to create one partition spanning
across entire disk (",,") on 32bit system, if the disk
is sufficiently large (~2TB) leads to wrong calculation
in compute_start_sect() due to type mismatch.
Can be reproduced as:
--------------------------
linux-3ln5:~ # modprobe scsi_debug virtual_gb=2000
linux-3ln5:~ # sfdisk /dev/sda <<< ',,'
Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ...
OK
Disk /dev/sda: 261083 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature
sfdisk: /dev/sda: unrecognized partition table type
Old situation:
sfdisk: No partitions found
no room for partition descriptor
sfdisk: bad input
