hi

this is what happened when i tried to do a mkpart on a fat16 partition which parted failed to recognize:

Actual output:
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hdd: 0.000-76351.570 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos

You found a bug in GNU Parted.  Please email a bug report to address@hidden containing the version ( 1.6.22), and the following message:

Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at disk_dos.c:1942 in function
add_logical_part_metadata() failed.
Ignore/Cancel? C

And fdisk has to say this:
fdisk -lu /dev/hdd

Disk /dev/hdd: 80.0 GB, 80060424192 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9733 cylinders, total 156368016 sectors
