To be precise, the 3rd disk shows the correct table while disks 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 give an error. Since the disk names keep changing on reboot (which is a different story altogether), this could mean sda, sdb, {sdc}, sdd, sde and sdf, OR sdc, sdd, {sde}, sdf, sdg and sdh (where the {marked} one is the new disk, which is showing the partition table correctly). I used parted earlier to partition those disks too at installation (about an year ago), and for quite a while after that they showed the correct partition table too. I don't know at what stage the partition tables became inaccessible since I don't examine the partitions of all the disks on all my servers on a regular basis ;) Regards, -- Raju -- Raj Mathur [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F PsyTrance & Chill: http://schizoid.in/ || It is the mind that moves _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list bug-parted@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
