Public bug reported:

Pasting disk_setup for cloud-config:

disk_setup:
  /dev/xvde:
     layout: True
     overwrite: False
     type: mbr
fs_setup:
  -device: /dev/xvde
   filesystem: ext4
   label: data
   overwrite: false
   partition: auto

I want to attach and mount a /data disk on the VM using cloud-init so I
just want to single partition 100% of the disk.

Error while running the sfdisk command for partitioning the disk (please see attached file).
OS: Ubuntu18

How I repro-ed it outside cloud-init environment:
1. Open XenCenter, add a new disk, say /dev/xvdc
2. Run `/sbin/sfdisk --Linux --unit=S --force /dev/xvdc` and specify start sector as 0. Because from the cloud-init logs and source code, I figured that it was picking start sector as 0. Save it and see the error.
