Details

Description:

partx is not built as part of util-linux-ng 2.16-1

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

install util-linux-ng, note the missing partx.

partx is useful for forcing the kernel to recognize partition changes on media it recognizes, or for forcing the kernel to recognize partitions on loopback-mounted filesystem images or LVM logical volumes. This is useful for forensic analysis of captured disk images, testing new initramfs'es in a sandboxed environment, registering newly-created basic partitions on hard drives, and many other things.

Please enable building partx on util-linux-ng.
