But if you try to change the size unit displayed, it complains and fails to change the size units displayed. >How-To-Repeat: Start sysinstall, go to Configure -> Fdisk Hit Z so that you can see sizes in different units. It complains about disk geometry and then returns you back to the screen *WITHOUT* changing the size unit displayed. >Fix: The size unit display should probably continue to change, regardless of what fdisk thinks about the geometry. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
