These asserts are not there in latest version of libparted. But, the latest version takes care of only disk expansion case. It doesn't take care of the case where the disk has shrunk. If the disk size has reduced, and all partitions are intact and there is a space at the end of disk to copy backup gpt table, shouldn't we try to write the backup table at the end? _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list bug-parted@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
