Description of problem: If you run parted on a disk whose sector size is not 512 bytes it presents a warning as follows: The sector size on /dev/sdb is 4096 bytes. Parted is known not to work properlywith drives with sector sizes other than 512 bytes Ignore/Cancel? As it turns out, "Cancel" in this case means "pretend the disk has 512 bytes sectors" whereas "Ignore" means "ignore the warning and proceed with 4096 byte sectors". This is highly confusing to any who have not read the code. Most confusing is the fact that entering "cancel" at this prompt does not cause parted to exit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): parted-1.6.19-1.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run parted on a disk whose sector size is not 512 bytes (eg a huge SCSI disk) 2. Type "cancel" when presented with the above message 3. Actual results: Parted appears to continue as though you selected "ignore". It makes no mention before or after of the fact that you are choosing sector sizes, not whether or not to continue at all. Expected results: A clear message that asks the user a) whether or not to continue at all and, if so, b) whether to use the detected sector size or parted's default (512 bytes). Additional info:
I can reword the exception handler to present a yes/no question for this situation. If I add text to the message, it will need to be translated to the other languages. I can fix this for RHEL4U4.
Created attachment 127716 [details] parted exception message rewording Here's the patch I'm proposing. I changed it to ask a yes/no question and added the sentence "Use NNN sector size?"
mkim: Is translation for this patch possible for RHEL4U4?
Sure David, Is it okay if I provide translation for the following particular sentence in text format? The sector size on %s is %d bytes. Parted is known not to work properly with drives with sector sizes other than %d bytes. Use %d sector size?" Once I gather translation from each translator, I will attach the translation back to this ticket. Cheers, Michelle
Michelle, That will be fine. I can add the translations to the patch for the package. I've committed to April 28th for early release errata for this package. Can you get the translations to me before then? Thanks, David
Still waiting on translations for this update.

(In reply to comment #15) > Hi David, > > Thanks for waiting. Please find the attached translations for 14 supported > langs from translation team in Brisbane: Michelle, Thanks for sending those. I'm having trouble adding the translations to the po files (mostly it's because I don't know how to deal with these character sets and I'm trying various copy and paste methods from the browser). Could you attach the translated text as a separate file that I can download? Thanks, David
Created attachment 128378 [details] updated translations for new message string Dave, parted-16.19/po/ directory only has a subset of our Red Hat Tier-1 languages. That being {de,es,fr,it,ja,ru,zh_CN}.po. Please find a patch against this language set attached. I applied your previous patch and updated the parted.pot so you can get the exact msgid/msgstr you are looking for. You may notice that these patches pickup other changes you may not need so feel free to pick and choose. I've double checked the file encodings for the patch set should be correct. Please note that the parted .po files have not yet been converted to UTF-8 though so let me know if that causes you any problems.
I've added the translations and built a new package. Thanks for the patch, Paul.
