Guys,
I am using libparted version of 1.8.1.
I created a gpt partition table on a disk (which is made out of a RAID-0
array). After that I shrink the disk size and again try to read the partition
table.
I hit the following asserts in function gpt_read().
PED_ASSERT ((PedSector) PED_LE64_TO_CPU (gpt->AlternateLBA)
<= disk->dev->length - 1, goto error_free_gpt);
This is due to the reason that after disk is shrunk in size, the secondary has
gone and primary table still points to the old location which is beyond the
current disk size.
I believe that these asserts should be removed and we should try to read the
table from the information available from the primary table and also try to
create secondary gpt table at the end of disk if we have sufficient free space
available at the end of disk which doesn't overlpa with the last partition
boundary.
What's your opinion on this ?
thanks,
rahul
