Bug Description
util-linux package is now over 1.5 year old, and 4 stable releases old (v2.20), when compared to kernel.org v2.24.
This makes Ubuntu miss many nice features, in particular:
* losetup --partscan gives ability to scan partition table in losetup, and generate additional per-partition loop-devices, which is good for developing hard disk images. (partx supports loop devices)
* fallocate --punch-hole - to easily make a file sparse after it has been created.
* ipcrm --all, and losetup --detach-all - allow to cleanup all resources of respective types.
* chcpu, prlimit - are new commands.
And many more...
