Hello i would like to report a bug regarding (g)parted,
specifically the "partprobe" function. The version used was: 2.3. // Reporting the required output from the error as requested: Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:662 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. // The command execution and resulting backtrace: address@hidden:/mnt$ sudo partprobe Backtrace has 13 calls on stack: 13: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_assert+0x2a) [0xb7732dba] 12: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x43ae7) [0xb7769ae7] 11: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x44907) [0xb776a907] 10: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x45bfc) [0xb776bbfc] 9: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x11631) [0xb7737631] 8: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_add_partition+0x262) [0xb773aec2] 7: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x47bb5) [0xb776dbb5] 6: /lib/libparted.so.0(+0x47dbf) [0xb776ddbf] 5: /lib/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_new+0x75) [0xb773bc95] 4: partprobe() [0x8048d90] 3: partprobe(main+0x1af) [0x804909f] 2: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0xb7541c76] 1: partprobe() [0x8048ba1] A bug has been detected in GNU Parted. Refer to the web site of parted http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html for more information of what could be useful for bug submitting! Please email a bug report to address@hidden containing at least the version (2.3) and the following message: Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:662 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. address@hidden:/mnt$ // Additional info: The bug occurs when launching partprobe while there is a usb device connected from a certain manufacturer. Same bug doesn't occur with other more or less similar devices. Tried three devices to rule out device errors: Mediocre priced: "Verbatim 4GB" el-cheapo priced device: "Brandless 4GB." Overprized: "Kingston 4GB." The Kingston device consequently caused the bug without any way to avoid it. // Can the bug be replicated? Yes. Required for replication: Usb 2.0 -stick / -device. Brand: Kingston Type: Datatraveller 100 G2 Capacity: 4GB Step 1: plug in the usb -stick / -device. Step 2: run partprobe // End bug info. // If required, please contact me for additional information. I will be more then happy to help any way i can. With regards, T. van Hoorn. |
