Hi Joe, IMHO this can be marked as invalid. It was just a FUD created when hunting down the actual issue (which has been wonderfully solved thanks to your patience). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Joe, I've just had a thought as zram is actually a compressed area of RAM and not a physical device, why would we expect parted to recognise what is going on? As far as I can read, it is actually reporting things entirely correctly. parted is a disk partitioning and partition resizing

Hi, I agree with phillw. This message from parted listing option will show in any GNU/Linux distribution, with any kernel when zram is loaded and working, because it's not a logical volume, it is a block device which acts as swap. See the description at the page of the project:

It seems I made a mess of installing the 3.11.4 kernel... It now seems to support zram.. I also re-installed the 3.12.rc1 kernel. both show the parted -l error. Details below: phillw@piglet:~$ uname -a Linux piglet 3.11.4-031104-generic #201310051136 SMP Sat Oct 5 15:38:11 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64

Thanks for reporting this bug. It's good to know that this is already fixed in the 3.12 kernel. We can perform a Reverse kernel bisect to identify the commit that fixes this in 3.12 and then request it be included in the stable releases(3.11, 3.8). It would first be good to know if the fix was

That may be possible. That 3.11.4 kernel is using the standard Saucy config file. How do you go about testing the 3.12 mainline kernel to know it does not exhibit the bug? Is there a lubuntu ISO pre-built with this kernel? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

zram is called by an upstart job in lubuntu. I'll re-check to see if zram swap is enabled with the 3.12 kernel, but it will be tomorrow. Regards, Phill. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.
