Hi bugs-parted, I'm running parted based gnu-fdisk (version 1.2.4-3+b1) on recent Debian testing (x86_64). When I try to access a 4GB Verbatim USB Flash Drive I get the following:
--- quote gnu-fdisk run
# fdisk /dev/sdb

You found a bug in GNU Fdisk.
This may have been fixed in the last version of GNU Parted that you can find at:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/
Please check this version prior to bug reporting.
If this has not been fixed yet or if you don't know how to check, please email:
bug-parted@gnu.org
or (preferably) file a bug report at:
http://parted.alioth.debian.org/bugs/
Your report should contain the version of this release (1.2.4) along with the
error message below, the output of
parted DEVICE unit co print unit s print
and additional information about your setup you consider important.
Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:662 in function
probe_partition_for_geom() failed.
Aborted
--- end of quote gnu-fdisk run
The output of direct parted (version 2.3-2) isn't much better:
--- quote parted run
# parted /dev/sdb unit co print unit s print
