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 itself. I can find no reason for this second sector to be reserved. It seems like it is a bug in the kernel partition table code that parted picked up trying to do the same thing that BLKRRPART does. Subsequent logical partitions appear to only have the single EBR sector, then immediately begin the logical partition just fine.
I'll take a look at the version you uploaded and see about making a few minor changes already suggested by upstream. -- Regression: Unable to add a partition to a disk that has another partition in use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540940 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
