Could be a dupe of 7973 (how did I miss that one?). But the debian stuff is more or less irrelevant because a) that bug is about resizing which I never did and never intended plus b) it is old and talks about parted pre-1.7, it is marked as fixed in 1.7 as suggested in the parted FAQ. I did use a post-1.7 parted but still got this error despite the claims in the FAQ that it should be gone.
In that sense I also feel that the issues in 7973 have been dealt with but this is something else that does look similar. -- This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout (newer ext2/ext3) https://launchpad.net/bugs/59620 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
