** Summary changed: - Parted cannot see large USB disk + Parted fails to detect partitions larger than drive
** Description changed: - I've got a Seagate 160 GB hard disk in an USB case. Parted can see the - disk itself, and even detects the model correctly, but refuses to get - the partition table or change it. "Can't have a partition outside the - disk" it says to QtParted, and advices to report a bug. - - With a 512 MB USB flashdrive everything works. + On a drive partitioned with PowerQuest Partition Magic software there + was an ext3 partition that was ending one cylinder further than the disk + end (I don't know why did PQ PM set it so, but the partition was + otherwise working flawlessly). Instead of detecting something, Parted + showed this drive as unallocated! "Can't have a partition outside the + disk" it said to GParted, and advices to report a bug. -- Parted fails to detect partitions larger than drive https://launchpad.net/bugs/50959 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
