Package: parted
Version: 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11.1
Severity: normal
hi,
I have an external USB drive, with partition table of "msdos"
style (as reported by 'parted'); it had 3 partitions, and
the first and largest was a HFS+ partition.
I wanted to create another partition, so I used 'parted' to reduce
the size of the first partion/HFS+filesystem; 'parted' ran OK,
and Linux could read the volume OK (but not write it, since it
is journalled).
But when I connected the disk to a Mac, the partition was listed
as a "dos" partition, and not accessible.
It turned out that 'parted' changed the type
of the partition in the MBR table. This is a bug (and it seems an
easy to fix bug).
So I connected the disk to the Linux box once again, and
used 'fdisk' to set the partition type code to (hexadecimal) 'af'
When I connected the disk to the MAc, I could visualize the
partition; and according to Mac Os X 'disk utility' , I have
to repair some problems in the volume bitmap, but the partition
and its data seem OK.
a.

Resize support was removed from parted 2 many years ago so I am closing
this issue now.
