When usb-creator runs it seems to mount the target partition right away. When it tries to run /sbin/parted--that program appears to return a non- zero return code. It is attempting to set the boot flag for the target partition.
When I run /sbin/parted manually with the same parameters I seem to get an return code of 1 and I get the following message: WARNING: the kernel failed to re-read the partition table on /dev/sdb (Device or resource busy). As a result, it may not reflect all of your changes until after reboot. (package parted file libparted/arch/linux.c) Unmounting the target partition and running parted allows parted to run without the warning. This is from GNU parted 2.1. I tried this on a karmic partition using parted 1.8.8.1.159-1e0e and, with the partition mounted, it doesn't produce this message (or the problem when running usb-creator). I suspect that this is what has changed. Perhaps unmounting the target partition for the length of the parted command would suffice. -- Regression: usb-creator-gtk doesn't work as of 0.2.16 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529366 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
