Hi Curtis, Thank you for the very detailed report! However, shouldn't we consider it a *feature* that parted now prints this warning? In other words, isn't it risky (and worthy of a warning) to modify a partition table when one or more of its partitions is mounted? _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
