2. when trying to partition a mpath device with fdisk, it asks user to
sed sectors and cylindes:
% sudo fdisk /dev/mapper/mpath4
You must set heads sectors and cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.

---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
---Steps to Reproduce---
1. install ubuntu 14.04.3 on a system which has mpath devices
2. using "fdisk" to check mpath device:
* fdisk -l <mpath device>
* fdisk <mpath device> (partition the device)
Userspace tool common name: fdisk(symbol link to pmac-fdisk)
The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64-bit
