Bug#474698: partman-base: Inconsistent output if sector size != 512 bytes

[Ferenc Wagner <wferi@niif.hu>]

Hi,

Looks like parted_devices gets it wrong:

~ # parted_devices 
/dev/md0	4161536	Unknown
~ # fdisk -l /dev/md0
Note: sector size is 1024 (not 512)

Disk /dev/md0: 8 MB, 8323072 bytes
2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 1016 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 1024 = 8192 bytes

I can imagine that the following patch would fix this issue:

Index: packages/partman/partman-base/parted_devices.c

 	       dev->path,
-	       dev->length * PED_SECTOR_SIZE_DEFAULT,
+	       dev->length * dev->sector_size,
 	       dev->model);
 }
 

Unfortunately I don't yet have the Sid system necessary for building
the D-I, so can't test it, but would be grateful if somebody could
send me an updated parted_devices binary (if the above compiles at
all :).  I will try to catch up...
