I can confirm this fix resolves the problems from the duplicate bug

I fixed up the problems I mentioned, and did some basic testing. In the
process, I ran into and fixed what I believe is a bug in extended
partition geometry handling that broke automatic partitioning in the
installer (I forwarded this fix upstream). Other than that, things seem
to be working
This bug was fixed in the package parted - 2.2-1ubuntu4

* put-back-BLKPG.patch: Upstream removed the code using the new
BLKPG ioctls instead of the old BLKRRPART ioctl to update the
in-kernel partition table.

I think I ran into that same bug... when putting parted into sector mode
it allowed me to create a logical partition starting on the sector
immediately following the EBR of the extended partition, but the second
sector is also consumed by the device node that is created for the
extended partition
Even if that is a bug (which I'm not convinced about - I haven't spent
the time digging into LILO to verify), to be honest I'd much rather
preserve it and deal with its consequences (by means of my extended-geom
patch or similar) than try to change it. That goes double a month
before Lucid's
True, your patch should be used for now, but I'm going to push upstream
to fix the kernel. If that one sector is not there, then the partition
should not use it. It seems the code was put there to force the size to
2 since LILO wants 2 sectors, but it seems to me that when the space for
the
I'm still missing the _has_partitions call (see comment 6), and there's
still a moderate amount of whitespace damage. I'll sync this up myself
and see how it looks ...

This should be the final cut. I've done quite a bit of testing and an
pleased with the results. The last try did not warn if it failed to
remove a partition and you did not try to replace it. This one collects
a list of all partitions that it could not remove, discards any that are
supposed to
Thanks for looking at this! I definitely want to take something like
this for Lucid, and this looks fairly close to being usable. A few
comments:
Could you use 'quilt refresh -pab' so that you don't change the format
of all the patches, please?
Try to pay attention to the style of the
In fact, use 'quilt refresh --no-timestamps -pab'. (You can set this up
in ~/.quiltrc if you like.)

I commented separately on issues with the patch, with a more detailed
review (does the Ubuntu Review Team
I am emailing this upstream now for them to comment on and will work on
the cleanups you suggested tomorrow ( going to see Lewis Black live
tonight ).

Second attempt. This time it only throws the warning if you are
modifying the partition that was in use. If you only changed other
partitions, you should be fine. Will do some testing and if it looks
good will send the patches upstream for review.

Tested and this version seems to be working well for me. Sending

upstream. There is a ChangeLog entry explaining the change. Will take
