[Bug 1921009] Re: Failure applying dump from m.5 drive to SCSI drive

[Kevin O'Gorman]

There is probably more going on than I realized.  I edited the file so
that all references were to /dev/sdc without those added  "p"
characters.  It still complained about parsing sdc.  Now I'm completely
puzzled and would ask for a better error message.

Title:
  Failure applying dump from m.5 drive to SCSI drive

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a dump from an M.5 drive named "/dev/nvme0n1" that I wanted to
  apply to a regular SCSI drive /dev/sdc.  This got the GPT built but
  when it tried to work on partitions, it failed, giving the error
  message sfdisk: failed to parse partition number: '/dev/sdc'

  This is probably due to the oddity of drive names for M.5 drives --
  they end in a digit, so a "p" is inserted before the actual partition
  numbers.  So the first partition may appear to be "p1" instead of "1".
  I know, I ran into it working on some software of my own.

  Anyway, the dump is attached.  Try applying it to a regular "/dev/sd?"
  drive and you will prpbably see the same thing.
