Hi, thanks for the report. I can reproduce the problem with the attached partition table image.
parttable1.img.xz
Description: Binary data
I see the code has if (last >= total_size) { *errmsg = _("Partition ends in the final partial cylinder"); return -1; } and the check was added in commit 7eda085c41faa3445b4b168ce78ab18dab87d98a Author: Karel Zak <k...@redhat.com> Date: Thu Dec 7 00:25:39 2006 +0100 Imported from util-linux-2.9v tarball. but I don't really know what to do about this. Maybe the error message could be improved to say that this is an unsupported layout and that you might want to use fdisk change to some other layout?
