This is a bug with the -s mode for parted(8). It should only prompt with the -i option. The -s option should always suppress interactive prompts and take the default/appropriate action. Flagging for 4.7. *** Bug 217979 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. The -s switch is working fine in parted-1.6.19-19.EL in RHEL-4. The 'unit' command is not available in RHEL-4, but is available in RHEL-5. If you are experiencing problems with the RHEL-5 parted package, please file a bug for that release. |
Description of problem: Tried to create 1 MiB partition, but instead got 1 sector. That just cannot be correct. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 'GNU Parted 1.8.0' from http://people.redhat.com/dcantrel/rhel/parted/i386/ Ok, not official 1.6.19.EL version, but still a problem... How reproducible: - Steps to Reproduce: 1. # parted -s /dev/sdc mklabel gpt 2. # parted -s /dev/sdc unit MiB mkpart primary ext3 0 1 3. # parted -s /dev/sdc unit MiB print Actual results: Model: HP HSV101 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 21504MiB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 0.02MiB 0.02MiB 0.00MiB primary Expected results: Model: HP HSV101 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 21504MiB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 0.02MiB 1.00MiB 0.98MiB primary Additional info: Not a big deal since I can simply do this instead: # parted -s /dev/sdc unit s mkpart primary ext3 0 2048 Warning: You requested a partition from 0s to 2048s. The closest location we can manage is 34s to 2048s. Is this still acceptable to you? Comment: Would be nice it this was forced in script mode.. # parted -s /dev/sdc unit s mkpart primary ext3 34 2048 # parted -s /dev/sdc unit MiB print Model: HP HSV101 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 21504MiB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 0.02MiB 1.00MiB 0.98MiB primary
