After cloning the repository you need to apply the patch from this message: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2011-03/msg00000.html Then you should have a version that won't throw an assertion. Thanks, Brian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you Brian, I now have a patched version of parted that does not throw an assertion. Question?, the FDISK output says 10 heads, 10 sectors/track, 76533 cylinders, Will parted work with these values? Why was the assertion thrown? 10 heads is greater than 0 and less than 63 heads. 10 sectors/track seems like a reasonable number. Is 76533 cylinders the value that is out of whack for the calculation formula? ie 76533 is greater than a 2 byte number(ie 65K)? If inside the Flash Disk, it uses LBA (logical Block Addressing) and the cylinder, heads, sectors, (CHS ) numbers from the FAT are not used, maybe changing to 20 sectors/track would reduce the number of cylinders by half to 38266.5 (which will fit in a 2 byte number, ie 65K) So maybe Verbatim, just picked another boneheaded number that does not fit the FAT32 specification, and parted should just throw( or ignore) an assertion. Here are my test results with libparted/labels/dos.c file patched. fredf@Kliktel-Mint ~/Downloads/gparted/parted/parted $ sudo ./parted /dev/sdc unit co print unit s print Model: Verbatim STORE N GO (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 3918MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 4129kB 3918MB 3914MB primary fat32 lba Model: Verbatim STORE N GO (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 7653312s Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 8064s 7653311s 7645248s primary fat32 lba fredf@Kliktel-Mint ~/Downloads/gparted/parted/parted $ sudo ./parted /dev/sdc print unit s print unit chs print Model: Verbatim STORE N GO (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 3918MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 4129kB 3918MB 3914MB primary fat32 lba Model: Verbatim STORE N GO (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 7653312s Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 8064s 7653311s 7645248s primary fat32 lba Model: Verbatim STORE N GO (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 949,9,8 Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B BIOS cylinder,head,sector geometry: 949,128,63.
