Linux won't allow this, so the best thing parted will be able to do is ignore the partition and you won't actually get the runtime mapping. >> How can I reproduce this? > > Not easily at all.

Is there some sort of flag in the disklabel that indicates this is such a partition? If so then parted could at least allow creating one and ignore it for the overlap check. Or should this bug just be closed? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQ9bPIAAoJEJrBOlT6nu750oEH/RD7sknPCkfhWfaolB5X03/d 3j0fvGsL+ZGtrWNYUIE7Df+iVfIMVRLtPds871gSOgTNMLD0AKIsQGO5qUagZKT6 Nn5a02ERyludRR4N56WZdfcuKf148Ahn6rXdBDk4wKYddd+tKG8S/KNsS2KG3Cj1 xFRRodAGxQItX/gCrGvVch9S3XivyPsmPtN+yfNPdGPy68JwkybY79YxobNGUw/M Tyb8K81pNFCzsYGBl6E7/P2jnI0lgaHyMhBexdl5P4BMp9CknoxTiqNxlgDJCvFP 0EogWNnXvU0qZJPp//u+jFUcyMwUlFTCtQYHu9mofO8JNSfYXIibQiQKqVGO10A= =bFrz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
