Does anyone know why this is happening?
The relevant section of code from the git repository can be viewed at
the following link:
http://git.debian.org/?p=parted/parted.git;a=blob;f=libparted/labels/dos.c;h=578180bc6658d5f4e0812d5976a1499bc95c8d9b;hb=HEAD#l726
In this section, it appears that the head size (not to be confused with
number of heads) is being calculated using a combination of the LBA
values and CHS values. I think this might be a double-check to ensure
that the LBA and CHS values match, though this is just a guess.
I have requested a copy of the MBR in the following mailing list post:
Verbatim USB drive crashes libparted
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2011-02/msg00000.htm
With the MBR, we might manually work out the calculation and perhaps
gain a clue as to why this problem is occurring.

Curtis Gedak
