1) Parted reads /sys/block/foo/range to determine how many partitions
the device type supports and then makes BLKPG ioctl's to update the

Applying the patch to parted 1.8.8 (not a perfect fit, bit close) appears
to correct the problem.

Hi list,
I have used parted with gpt for my scsi drive.
And whenever i reboot the system it failed to mount it.
But if i remove and re-create the first partition, then
i am able to mount all the partitions. I am using ext3
filesystem. Anything needs to be done when i create the

My goal is also to make sure that in most cases when
you enter the start of a partition you want to create
equal to the end of an existing partition, the constraints
are ok for these two partition to be able to not overlap,
which is not the case today especially with kB
With 1.6.25 I would like to talk about current issues.

people are not angry because of hijacking their mailing list.
