I think it was sfdisk that busted my partition table. sfdisk -d output doesn't identify physiclal or logical partitions.
I think it assumkes the first 4 are physical and the remaining are logical. I think I actually only had 3 physical partitions Anyway I edited the output of sfdisk -d and shurnk my extended partition to stop at parition 7 thus making partition 4 outside of the extended partition but still physical anyway... so I have a valid partition table, but perhaps parted could be more helpful about fixing such messes? -- Cannot have overlapping partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
