Description of problem: Invoking system-config-lvm gives produces the following output in the console: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/system-config-lvm.py", line 138, in ? runFullGUI() File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/system-config-lvm.py", line 123, in runFullGUI blvm = baselvm(glade_xml, app) File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/system-config-lvm.py", line 68, in __init__ self.lvmm = lvm_model() File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/lvm_model.py", line 142, in __init__ self.__block_device_model = BlockDeviceModel() File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDeviceModel.py", line 19, in __init__ bd = BlockDevice(devname) File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDevice.py", line 41, in __init__ self.reload() File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDevice.py", line 68, in reload self.__parted_reload() File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDevice.py", line 84, in __parted_reload self.addNoAlign(part.beg, part.end, part.id, part.bootable, part.num) File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDevice.py", line 213, in addNoAlign self.__insert(part) File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDevice.py", line 218, in __insert self.__insert2(part, self.__segs, False) File "/usr/share/system-config-lvm/BlockDevice.py", line 248, in __insert2 raise BlockDeviceErr_cannotFit() BlockDevice.BlockDeviceErr_cannotFit: <BlockDevice.BlockDeviceErr_cannotFit instance at 0x2000000006e360e0> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-lvm 1.0.13-1.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Invoke system-config-lvm (CLI or GUI) 2. 3. Actual results: The system-config-lvm window pops up for a few milliseconds and then closes with the above messages in the console (when invoked using CLI) Expected results: The system-config-lvm window shouldn't close Additional info: This bug seems closely related to bug #169860. I'm opening this one because the platform is different (ia64) and because bug #169860 seems to have been solved, which isn't the case here
Could you post the output of 'sfdisk -l -uS <devname>' for all hard drives.
Unfortunately, sfdisk doesn't support GPT partitions, the standard on Itanium systems (see below the sfdisk output for disk /dev/sda). Is there something else I can try? WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util sfdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

Created attachment 128947 [details] Parted changed format of output - fix Well, you could test a fix. Just drop the attachment into /usr/share/system-config-lvm/ , and it should fix the problem.
Wow, impressive! I confirm that attachment id #128947 solves the problem. Many thanks.
Fixed in 1.0.17 Thanks for beta-testing :)
