Well, it actually does indicate a bug in Parted - one that was fixed ages ago. Also, users are allowed to ignore the assertion. In this case, I think we wouldn't have been able to fix the bug if we didn't get people emailing us about the problem. If you are concerned about list traffic, then I think a good solution would be to filter out the most commonly reported fixed bugs. They are usually pretty easy to single out. (Eg: version <= 1.6.15 AND probe_partition_for_geom) Cheers, Andrew _______________________________________________ Bug-parted mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
