First, the probing code in aix.c is passing a 512-byte static buffer to a function that tries to write 2048 bytes into the same buffer -- thus clobbering the following 1.5KB.
Then I saw that arch/linux.c's linux_read function was doing the same thing: allocating a 512-byte buffer and then writing 2048 into it, too. All of this happens with a logical sector size of 2048, about which you get a big warning when invoking e.g., "parted /dev/cdrom": Warning: Device /dev/hdc has a logical sector size of 2048. Not all parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. I'm sending the patches separately. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
