I have a fix for this on my laptop now that makes the legacy MBR code
conditional on whether the system is a Mac, with an environment variable
override for cases where this is wrong. I'm actually on holiday right
now, but when I get back next week I'll upload it for testing; there

I agree. I've purchased a Mac to test this on, but I'm not sure if I'll
be able to fix this by myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty confident that the gptsync patch is still needed on Macs in
order to make the firmware recognise it; the grub patch is necessary but
not sufficient. Yes, it violates the standard, but that's Apple's fault

Why is this bug unfixed yet? It destroyed 3TB of data for me,
fortunately I still had a copy of the data at the original location.
Anyway, I built Gutsy packages of Parted 1.8.8 with the Debian/Ubuntu
patches but not the Mac "compatibility" patch which is messing
everything up. They are available

I had the same problem working with a 3TB array. I created 7 partitions
on a gpt label with parted from 7.10 64bit desktop. I then used hdparm
-z /dev/sda to reread the partitions, but the OS only saw the first 4.
I then chrooted into SLES 10 and used the parted from it. It gave the
same error m
The failure of grub to install from my last message may be related to
the various testing we did. At this time, it's not reproducible. I've
boiled the work-around steps to: Install, wait until the end, run
Dapper's parted and let it fix the corrupt (i.e. synced) GPT, re-install
grub, and finish the
This is still a problem with Gutsy. I have a 64-bit machine with a 2.25
TB array (hardware RAID 5 of four 750 GB drives). The installer is
"syncing" the GPT label into an msdos label. I think everyone agrees
this is wrong, but it was supposedly done for compatibility with Apple's
software. See bug

I can confirm this bug.
Happened for me with Edgy 32bit.
The included gnu parted 1.7.1 is broken. I created a 2.7 TB GTP partition, and
initialized it with ext3.
On reboot fsck reported that the file system was larger then the partition, and
it was unuseable.
I compiled/installed parted 1.8.8
Most likely caused by gpt sync patch,
