Paul, please don't mark bugs as duplicates that are not entirely understood. I've read this bug over twice and I still don't entirely understand what's going on. If you have a better understanding than me, by all means share it, but until then remember that this is not a competition to mark the most bugs as duplicates - the objective is to make sure that as many bugs as possible get fixed, and incorrectly marking bugs as duplicates is a problem for meeting that objective. I would greatly appreciate it if you would confine your efforts to suggesting possible duplicate bugs rather than actually marking them as such. Now you appear to have alienated a bug reporter who might have been able to give more useful information once we figured out what information to ask for!
The current version of parted in Edgy has the "rather strange layout" message commented out, so it's not possible to get this error with the version of parted in Edgy. However, the same problem will cause a different error, so I'd still like to investigate. -- 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
