fdisk "unsuported suffix" when using +cylinders ?

Vilius · 04-05-2009, 04:27 AM

Hello,

One of the methods to specify end cylinder in fdisk is to specify amount of cylinders to add to first cylinder after + sign:
+cylinders
When I do that I get:
Unsupported suffix ''.

Strange but if I boot from slackware dvd and use fdisk same way - it works just fine.
How do I fix that ?

thanks
Vilius

RUn 'man fdisk' and see if that option is available with the installed version of fdisk.
