Keywords: Solaris 10 fdisk Cc:

Description

If you install Solaris 10 as guest OS (in a virtual box), the partitioning tool - Fdisk - cannot create any partitions.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

This bug was fixed in 1.5.6. The problem is that a fixed-size disk may lead to a very long response of some disk requests. The guest is confused about that and freaks out. Since 1.5.6 we touch the whole image when creating a fixed-size disk image.
