Package: parted Version: 2.2-5 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
I just used parted to delete a mounted partition. How to reproduce: - empty partition table - create 2 partitions (in the normal way first partion is physically before the secound) - mount the secound one (of course create a filesystem, ...) - delete the first partion => there is an error message teh kernel can not read the new table, because the second is still mounted => now parted shows only one partion(as the first one!) - delete the first partition (even so still mounted) I did the same on a disk with 6 partitions 6 was the mounted one, and I deleted partiton 5 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (800, 'unstable'), (800, 'testing'), (500, 'experimental'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-openvz-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages parted depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libparted0debian1 2.2-5 The GNU Parted disk partitioning s ii libreadline6 6.1-2 GNU readline and history libraries parted recommends no packages.
