In case I forget I wanted to report a bug with parted where Control-C is treated as an OK response. I was testing how parted handled a corrupt primary GPT and was rewarded with parted asking if I wanted to use the backup GPT instead with the prompt: "OK/Cancel? " I typed Control-C and it took it as an OK response.
$ parted fu print unit s print unit chs print WARNING: You are not superuser. Watch out for permissions. Error: The primary GPT table is corrupt, but the backup appears OK, so that will be used. parted: invalid token: unit OK/Cancel? ^C Model: (file) Disk /path/to/changed/fu: 4001GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 20.5kB 32.9MB 32.9MB FORBDLCS msftdata 2 32.9MB 500GB 500GB P2 msftdata 3 500GB 1000GB 500GB P3 msftdata 4 1000GB 1500GB 500GB P4 msftdata 5 1500GB 2000GB 500GB P5 msftdata 6 2000GB 2500GB 500GB P6 msftdata 7 2500GB 3000GB 500GB P7 msftdata 8 3000GB 3500GB 500GB P8 msftdata 9 3500GB 4000GB 500GB P9 msftdata Also was going to open an enhancement request for parted to force it to use the backup GPT no matter what the state of the MBR and primary GPT. This would be useful if case the MBR and/or primary GPT were corrupt (think: "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count 130" or something similar). Bill
