[I tried to submit this via Trac, but it said "500 Internal Server Error
(Submission rejected as potential spam)"].
I also tried to debug this with gdb, but the parted I built complains
like this:
$ /usr/local/sbin/parted ../rhel5.2-image
/usr/local/sbin/parted: error while loading shared libraries:
libparted-1.8.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The trace below is from the the compiled but not installed tool.
I installed RHEL5.2 on an ia64 system, resulting in /dev/sda1 (a 100MB FAT
partition containing the bootloader, kernel, etc) and /dev/sda2 (the 4GB root
filesystem). I used dd to copy the first 5GB of /dev/sda to the file
rhel5.2-image.
The GPT scheme keeps a secondary copy of the partition table at the
end of the disk. My rhel5.2-image file is obviously missing that,
since it only contains the first 5GB of the disk image. That might
explain this assertion failure.
But I hope parted can handle this situation more gracefully.
Anyway, I copied rhel5.2-image to an x86 system and ran parted on it:
$ parted/parted ../rhel5.2-image print
WARNING: You are not superuser. Watch out for permissions.
