I made a small one on a boot stick, moved it to a VM with CentOS 6.2 running, and cannot reproduce the problem. In fact, parted sees the core storage enclosed logical volume's name, even though it doesn't identify the file system being used. I inserted another boot stick, that contains an 'Apple boot' partition with a minimum system. This is also new in Lion and is actually used as the initial boot partition only when the primary partition has been encrypted. When that's inserted, the problem is reproducible - parted crashes only upon trying to list the contents of that USB stick (it lists the contents for sda just fine). The problem though, with assuming it's the Apple Boot partition, is that I had this working fine two months ago with such an Apple boot (this is GUID 426F6F74-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC). So either some Apple update has messed with this partition in some way since then, or I did (entirely possible). So even if I've somehow sabotaged either of the two 620MB Apple Boot partition examples I have that cause this problem, I'm thinking it might be useful to find out why parted is crashing because it probably shouldn't crash. Even though this is pretty obscure. Maybe? In any event, I need to do a clean install of Lion again, and see if a totally unmodified version of it causes the problem; and if and which update instigates the problem. Chris Murphy
