SUMMARY
I unboxed a new Seagate 8TB hard drive, attached it via a powered SATA->USB
bridge, tried to run Partition Manager, but would crash. So I ran PM from the
command line and it was crashing while scanning for the /dev/sdb device, which
is the new Seagate drive:
$ partitionmanager

KCrash: Application 'partitionmanager' crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
fish: Job 1, 'partitionmanager' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary
error)
I've also attached a screenshot of the interface as it was hung up scanning and
just before it crashed.
I suspected that PM didn't like that it was a raw disk, so I ran fdisk to
verify that it could see the disk, it could:
$ sudo fdisk -l
...
Disk /dev/sdb: 7.28 TiB, 8001563222016 bytes, 15628053168 sectors
Disk model: 004-2U9188
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
...
Acting on a hunch, I found the solution was to tell fdisk to give the disk a
GPT partition table. Then I re-ran PM and it did not crash. I was able to
select the unformatted disk and format it just fine.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. attach a factory fresh hard drive to your computer
2. run PM
OBSERVED RESULT
it crashes on initial scan
EXPECTED RESULT
shouldn't crash
