parted version: 3.2 (debian jessie) debian package version: > parted/testing,testing,now 3.2-4 amd64
hello, I am new at bug reporting, and I am trying to provide enough information about the BUG I have encountered. I have dd'ed a debian 7.6 DVD installation media(iso) directly into my USB stick(USB3.0). I am sure there is no damage on this device. Then I'd like to make a new partition table,then I typed 'print' first: ``` (parted) print Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes. Ignore/Cancel? I ``` then the bug occured. this is device info required by the program: ``` (parted) print Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes. Ignore/Cancel? C Model: Kingston DataTraveler 3.0 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 15356160s Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: unknown Disk Flags: ``` when I say Ignore: ``` *** Command History: unit s print I Error: A general SIGSEGV signal was encountered. ``` this is the original BUG: (parted /dev/sdc) ``` Command History: print I Error: SEGV_MAPERR (Address not mapped to object) Backtrace has 16 calls on stack: 16: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libparted.so.2(ped_assert+0x31) [0x7ffbda65f5f1] 15: parted() [0x40a684] 14: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x35480) [0x7ffbd9e6a480] 13: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x90875) [0x7ffbd9ec5875] 12: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libparted.so.2(+0x1817e) [0x7ffbda66a17e] 11: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libparted.so.2(ped_geometry_read+0x35) [0x7ffbda665a85] 10: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libparted.so.2(+0x1ce16) [0x7ffbda66ee16] 9: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libparted.so.2(ped_file_system_probe_specific +0x37) [0x7ffbda660a07] 8: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libparted.so.2(ped_file_system_probe+0x4e) [0x7ffbda660ace] 7: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libparted.so.2(+0x2954c) [0x7ffbda67b54c] 6: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libparted.so.2(ped_disk_new+0x48) [0x7ffbda6644b8] 5: parted() [0x407659] 4: parted(interactive_mode+0xff) [0x40c6ef] 3: parted(main+0x1175) [0x405f45] 2: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7ffbd9e56b45] 1: parted() [0x405f98] ``` then I erased the first sector of the disk: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1 then ALL things went back to normal. seems like matter of Device driver. -- Regards, C.D.Luminate
