Package: parted
Version: 2.2-5
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
I just used parted to delete a mounted partition.
How to reproduce:
- empty partition table
- create 2 partitions (in the normal way first partion is physically before the
secound)
- mount the secound one (of course create a filesystem, ...)
- delete the first partion
=> there is an error message teh kernel can not read the new table, because the
second is still mounted
=> now parted shows only one partion(as the first one!)
- delete the first partition (even so still mounted)
I did the same on a disk with 6 partitions 6 was the mounted one, and I deleted
partiton 5
