You found a bug in GNU Parted! Here's what you have to do: Don't panic! Your report should contain the version of this release (3.2) and the following history of commands you entered. Also include any additional information about your setup you consider important. Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at dos.c:2305 in function add_logical_part_metadata() failed. Aborted I tried running GParted when libparted reported an error. Then I went to parted to see what errors it may report. ~]$ sudo lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 1.8T 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 60G 0 part /C: ├─sda2 8:2 0 60G 0 part ├─sda3 8:3 0 1G 0 part /boot ├─sda4 8:4 0 1K 0 part ├─sda5 8:5 0 70G 0 part │ └─fedora-root 253:0 0 70G 0 lvm / └─sda6 8:6 0 1.6T 0 part /D: sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom ~]# sudo fdisk /dev/sda -l Disk /dev/sda: 1.8 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xdb7d6b3c Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 125831167 125829120 60G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 125831168 251660287 125829120 60G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 251660288 253757439 2097152 1G 83 Linux /dev/sda4 253757440 3907028991 3653271552 1.7T 5 Extended /dev/sda5 253761536 400570367 146808832 70G 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda6 400570368 3907028991 3506458624 1.6T 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
