Package: kvpm
Version: 0.8.6-2+deb7u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I have a disk that apparently has a slightly corrupted GPT layout; the backup
partition is not exactly at the end. Possibly this is a result of having been
formatted with an earlier version of gpt.
When I start kvpm it says
"The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that will be
used". It has a big white X on a red square, and a button that says OK. I
click the button.
Then another error dialog says "Not all the space available to /dev/sde appears
to be used, you can fit the GPT to use all of the space (an extra 4 blocks) or
continue with the current setting?"
There is ONE box that says "OK".
The problem is that the text suggests I should make a choice, but there is no
choice. Since one of the options rewrites my disk, and it appears the only
available course is to click OK which may rewrite the disk, this is bad.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I clicked on the close window button in the frame of the error dialog.
* What was the outcome of this action?
This apparently did not rewrite the disk (since I see the error again when I
start again), and does proceed to the application's main window.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected the second error dialogue to have 2 clearly labelled choices like
"Rewrite the GPT" and "Leave the GPT unchanged". When I select the former the
table is rewritten, when I select the latter it is not. In either case it
proceeds to the main application window.
For comparison, here's what happens with parted from Konsole:
# parted /dev/sde
