Fdisk reporting 0MB on 4TB drive

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Having a 4TB HDD installed using EXT4 filesystem and doing "fdisk -l"

Drive works fine and at full size of 3.64TB, but it reports
"0 MB" when "fdisk -l" even after setting cylinders on fdisk.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Note: sector size is 4096 (not 512)
You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.

Disk /dev/sdd: 0 MB, 0 bytes
256 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16128 * 4096 = 66060288 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdd1               1      249661  3221225220   83  Linux
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(1023, 255, 63) logical=(249660, 243, 51)

What version of the product are you using?
1.9.2.7-rtn-r5272

It is a problem of busybox's fdisk. We will take a look, but most likely it 
requires fixes of bb maintainers.

Are problem still exists after busybox update to 1.22.1 (builds newer than 
r5387)?
