fdisk should be able to detect GPT and write a warning:

The "fdisk" from opensuse 12.3 does that. The "fdisk" from 13.1M3 does not. I will attach "fdisk-from-12.3" and "fdisk-from-13.1M3" giving those outputs.

As root run: dd if=/dev/sda of=disc-header.img count=2 bs={block size of your disc}

I will attach "disc-header.img". I used "bs=4096". According to fdisk, the physical sector size is 4096, and the logical sector size is 512.

and then output of: cat /sys/block/sda/queue/hw_sector_size

I will attach file cat_hw_sector_size with the output. I did that while running 13.1M3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
