It seems that the most common parted error right now is the one that happens on flash drives that come from the factory with a 'bad' format that reports > 63 heads.
Does anyone know why this is happening? And is there anything parted can do about it? I've run into this once myself while using livecd-iso-to-disk (which uses parted for partitioning). After I removed its partitioning using dd if=/dev/zero ... it worked fine. I think at the least that the error should not throw a backtrace. I'd rather see it print an error about the device, with some helpful information, and skip it so that things like parted -l will show the rest of the drives on the system without removing the offending device. -- Brian C.
