Dear Maintainer, This dumpfile defines 3 partitions to be created: ``` label: gpt unit: sectors first-lba: 2048 sector-size: 512 1: size=512MiB, type=C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B 2: size=512MiB, type=0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 3: type=0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 ``` Using sfdisk: # sfdisk /dev/sdb <this.dump The output is like this: ``` Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ... OK Disk /dev/sdb: 100 MiB, 104857600 bytes, 204800 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes /dev/sdb1: Created a new partition 1 of type 'EFI System' and of size 10 MiB. /dev/sdb2: Created a new partition 2 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 10 MiB. /dev/sdb3: Created a new partition 3 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 78 MiB. /dev/sdb4: Done. New situation: Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 21A415C2-8B45-9A40-B25E-4FBD0667FED4 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sdb1 2048 22527 20480 10M EFI System /dev/sdb2 22528 43007 20480 10M Linux filesystem /dev/sdb3 43008 202751 159744 78M Linux filesystem The partition table has been altered. Syncing disks. ``` Notice this part: ``` /dev/sdb1: Created a new partition 1 of type 'EFI System' and of size 10 MiB. /dev/sdb2: Created a new partition 2 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 10 MiB. /dev/sdb3: Created a new partition 3 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 78 MiB. /dev/sdb4: Done. ``` The /dev/sdb4 is not supposed to be there. It appears sfdisk is reusing the partition counter for line numbers. If this is an upstream bug, please forward it on my behalf, I cannot github from where I live. Thank you!
