[arch-releng] [PATCH 0/2] Fixes to disc capacity detection and automatic partitioning
First patch fixes a possible issue with SCSI drives (needs testing) Related bug report: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12949 Second patch modifies the automatic partition preparation step of the installer to use MiB instead of MB, because most users (myself included) are more familiar with MiB (2^20 bytes) than with MB (10^6 bytes) and because that's what sfdisk (used for the actual partitioning) is expecting.

This effectively makes the installer pass correct values to sfdisk
during automatic partition preparation (sfdisk expects MiB, not MB)

Just to be clear here - we are planning on replacing the old installer with AIF in the near future (maybe even the next ISO), so fixes for the old installer are probably not going to get merged unless they're showstoppers for the release.

That's understandable. I haven't really looked much into AIF yet, but I'm sure Dieter has done a great job developing it. :)
