Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gparted
I used to have the following partition table:
ext3 /dev/sda1 (mounted at /)
extended
- swap /dev/sda5
- ext3 /dev/sda6 (mounted at /home)
The /dev/sda1 was too small for me though, so to increase it I used
GParted on a Jaunty LiveCD to queue the following:
- Shrink /dev/sda6 to half size, creating space on the left.
- Move swap to the right.
- Shrink extended to fit, creating space on the left.
- Grow /dev/sda1 to fill.
GParted successfully did step 1, but at the end of step 2 it had a fatal
error:
Invalid partition table on /dev/sda -- wrong signature 0.
After closing the dialog, the entire partition table is now gone -- it
all shows as "unallocated space".
GParted's saved report is attached.
