Parted (both 1.7.1 and 1.8.0rc3) have a problem accessing extending partitions as can be seen from the following session:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# parted /dev/hda GNU Parted 1.8.0rc3 Using /dev/hda Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) print Model: ST93015A (ide) Disk /dev/hda: 30.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 98.7MB 98.7MB primary ext3 boot 2 98.7MB 19.4GB 19.3GB primary ext3 3 19.4GB 25.9GB 6440MB primary ext3 4 25.9GB 30.0GB 4137MB extended 5 25.9GB 28.0GB 2147MB logical ext3 6 28.0GB 29.1GB 1077MB logical ext3 7 29.1GB 29.3GB 239MB logical ext3 8 29.3GB 30.0GB 674MB logical linux-swap (parted) select /dev/hda4 Using /dev/hda4 (parted) print Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk! (parted) Is this how it is supposed to be, or should it be treated as a bug?
