Hi, I was trying to get the kernel reread the status of the disks in one raid controller after creating a new arrray. I erroneously thought partprobe would do that. But running it had a nasty side affect: It probed a different array in another controller which had a GPFS filesystem and had no partition table, but was in the past partitioned with parted. It mentioned that it found a backup partition table, and then overwrote the current partition table with the one from the backup.

Fixed packages were released last July: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0698.html Please update to parted-1.6.19-22.EL. Regards, Bryn. _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list bug-parted@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
