unable to seek on /dev/loop0
 

Hello,

Whenever i execute command fdisk /dev/loop0 < file1
(file1 contains the commands used for fdisk),I get an error saying "unable to seek on /dev/loop0".The last line of file1 contains w in order to write the partition table back to the disc.

How should I exit the command prompt safely (after saving all the settings)

Below are the contents of the file



filef.sh:

fdisk /dev/loop0 < filee
fdisk /dev/loop0 < file1


filee:
x
s
8
h
16
c
1024
r
d
n
p
1

512
t
b
p
w



file1:
x
c
1024
r
n
e
2

l

700

You should execute fdisk on your actual device file (or regular file, which contains partition). Loopfile contains nothing by itself.

Thanks a lot..it worked but the message "syncing disks" is displayed at the end of executing and it is not giving me back the command prompt.what additional command do i need to put in file1 to terminate safely to my command prompt..??
