Category: parted Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody (None) Assigned to: Andrew Clausen (clausen-guest) Summary: Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at dos.c:2011 [...] failed. Initial Comment: I tried to resize an ext3 partition, using the latest development version on Debian Sarge. It gracefully refused to do, saying "Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at dos.c:2011 [...] failed.". fsck afterwards didn't report errors. Parted believes i found a bug. The FAQ at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/faq.html says it was fixed some time ago. Leslie P. Polzer at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01772.html says this bug was fixed in 1.7rc. I have included the output you reqire at the bug-report page and a full copy of the console output when trying to resize.

Andrew Clausen said he cannot reproduce the bug. If not, do you think you could provide us, given the exact instructions, with a GDB backtrace? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody (None) Date: 2006-05-21 13:23 Message: Logged In: NO Of course. --Jakob Unterwurzacher $ sudo sfdisk -l -x -uS /dev/hdc Disk /dev/hdc: 10011 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #sectors Id System /dev/hdc1 * 63 7807589 7807527 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc2 58589055 160826714 102237660 5 Extended /dev/hdc3 7807590 8787554 979965 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc4 8787555 58589054 49801500 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc5 58589118 135717119 77128002 83 Linux - 135717120 160826714 25109595 5 Extended - 58589055 58589054 0 0 Empty - 58589055 58589054 0 0 Empty /dev/hdc6 135717183 160826714 25109532 83 Linux - 135717120 135717119 0 0 Empty - 135717120 135717119 0 0 Empty - 135717120 135717119 0 0 Empty ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Leslie P.
