Package: gpart
Version: 0.1h-4
Severity: important

Running gpart /dev/hda on my arm system simply returns 'seek error' and
doesn't appear to even try to read the disk to find partitions.

hda is a 10GB WD drive.

I ended up using a for loop in bash to dump the first 2k of each
cylinder on the disk using dd and running file to locate the start of
each partition so I could recreate it with fdisk.  gpart would have been
easier I suspect.

Thanks
