Hi! sdb is a 4GB USB drive (DataTravler 100 G2 - Kingston). It brand new.
I'm running Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and it's fairly well updated. Running the "parted DEVICE unit co print unit s print" cmd triggers the crash again. Regards // Anders Here is a brief report: $ sudo parted /dev/sdb print Backtrace has 14 calls on stack: 14: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_assert+0x2a) [0x4fef0a] 13: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x42507) [0x536507] 12: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x43317) [0x537317] 11: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x4460c) [0x53860c] 10: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0xf7b1) [0x5037b1] 9: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_add_partition+0x262) [0x507032] 8: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x45fa3) [0x539fa3] 7: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x4619f) [0x53a19f] 6: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_new+0x75) [0x507e15] 5: parted() [0x804e389] 4: parted(non_interactive_mode+0x85) [0x8054b95] 3: parted(main+0x6d) [0x8052f9d] 2: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x15abd6] 1: parted() [0x804c3f1] You found a bug in GNU Parted!
