Public bug reported:
I've got a script that includes "parted <device> print" in a pipeline
with other things processing the output. This works fine usually, but I
just saw the error
Error: The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so
that will be used.
and processing appeared to freeze because the following "OK/Cancel" does
not include a newline and the pipeline held it in a buffer so it never
appeared on the console. There would be no way to answer anyway.
So consider this two or three feature requests:
- Since the message says "that one will be used" make to program just do that
(it's just a "print" after all.)
- Provide an option to assume "yes" for such questions (or to assume cancel")
- Provide a command to fix the broken table with data from the good one
