I can't really follow your very well, but it sounds like you did
simply select the wrong device in gparted.  If you can reproduce this
using just parted showing how would make things clear.  If you can
only reproduce it in gparted, then more detailed steps of how, as well
as a copy of the gparted log file should help track down the problem
there.

Bug#778683: Info received (Bug#778683: Error creating partition table on RAID device)

2015-02-18 Thread jnqnfe
Investigating with fdisk I discovered that after this the second disk in
the array was reported to have the following issue: 'MBR/GPT
mismatches'.

I managed to get things fixed and the partition table created
successfully with fdisk instead.

You caught me just in time, as I'm intending to actually use this and so
it won't be practical to test afterwards.

I recreated the RAID array and tried again, and while I have found a
serious issue, I can't reproduce the original issue reported in this
particular bug, so I'll close this and write up a new report for the
other issue.

Bug#778683: Error creating partition table on RAID device

2015-02-18 Thread jnqnfe
Package: libparted

After creating a RAID0 device via motherboard firmware, and installing
mdadm, applying a partition table using gparted (gpt) resulted in
gparted issuing an error.

The error reads:
Title: Libparted bug found!
Message: Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sdb

Note, It was specifically the /dev/md126 device that I had selected when
I asked it to create the partition table, just to be clear.

**This error does not occur when trying to do the same thing but
specifying mbr instead of gpt.**

Bug#778683: Error creating partition table on RAID device

2015-02-18 Thread jnqnfe
Error reoccurs upon reopening gparted if you shut down gparted after the
failed creation of a gpt partition table.

If you successfully create an msdos partition table and reopen, no error
from the previous gpt failure (I don't know whether creating an msdos
partition table wipes any gpt table, so I don't know if that should have
been expected and doesn't need stating).
