This is a report from a bug found in openSUSE 11.2 and reported in openSUSE bugzilla here:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=598464 In short, in some obscure circomstances (obscure because I don't know how I happen to have such a drive), parted refuses to read the partition table when util-linux fdisk do. Fdisk reading the table allowed me to change it, allowing me to keep working two actual partitions, when parted only allowed me to start a raw new table. the problem lies in disk having an extended partition overlapping a primary one on an old disk having held windows and openSUSE several times for several years the bug is both in the last (two days ago) partedmagic cd and on openSUSE 11.2 parted (parted (GNU parted) 1.9.0) what is the way to make this bug fixed else than writing here? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-support-the-Linux-Documentation-Project/372073631002?v=wall http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-fan-page-of-Claire-Dodin/106485119372062?v=wall _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list bug-parted@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
