Public bug reported:
Linux (linux-image-2.6.32-16-generic AMD64 2.6.32-16.25) fails to read
GPT(EFI) partition table created by both GNU parted and OSX diskutil.
Test case:
1. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=128
2. parted:
a. mklabel gpt
b. mkpart primary fat 0 50
c. quit
3. partprobe /dev/sda
4. dmesg | tail -n1
Kernel reports:
[ 5185.710614] sda: unknown partition table
Kernel config (grep -i part /boot/config-2.6.32-16-generic | grep -i efi):
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y
Comments:
Ubiquity's partition manager working well with GPT partitions.
Ubiquity fails later during actual creation and formating of partitions: fails
to access /dev/sdx devices.
** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
