Hello,I'm using FAI to automatically install machines. I'm getting the above parted error in the following situation.
FAI is run in a Xen domU calling parted on a LVM volume. I also get this error when parted is called on a iscsi lun. In both cases the lun is given to the virtual machine as a the device '/dev/sda'.
I have this problem with versions 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11.1 and 1.9.0. (Please, notice the -s option) r...@shibidp1:/# parted -s /dev/sda unit TiB print Error: Error initialising SCSI device /dev/sda - Invalid argument (Please, notice that the -s option is not given) r...@shibidp1:/# parted /dev/sda unit TiB print Error: Error initialising SCSI device /dev/sda - Invalid argument Ignore/Cancel? I Model: (null) (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 0.01TiB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 0.00TiB 0.01TiB 0.01TiB primary boot 2 0.01TiB 0.01TiB 0.00TiB primary If I then quiet parted I get*** glibc detected *** parted: double free or corruption (out): 0x00007efff7afcab0 ***
That is then only with parted 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11.1. So to conclude: 1) In my case, doing things with -s enabled doesn't work (either versions) 2) I get ' double free or corruption ' in the Debian Stable version.All help would be appreciated as this is blocking the installation of virtual machines.
