Description of problem: I connected a 500 GB external hard drive via USB while using a Fedora 33 KDE Plasma spin installation. The partition layout of the drive is: 108 GB ext3 partition 171 GB extended partition containing 63 GB ext3 and 108 GB ext4 220 GB free space I tried to increase the size of the extended partition on that drive using gnome-disks 3.38.0 by clicking Additional partition options, increasing the extended partition's size to 392 GB, and clicking Resize. The following error message was shown by gnome-disks: Error resizing partition: Remote peer disconnected (g-dbus-error-quark, 4) udisksd had a segmentation fault in ped_geometry_set_start at cs/geom.c:183 in parted-3.3-5.fc33.x86_64. geom was a null pointer, so geom->end was a null pointer dereference at that line. geom = 0x0 was in frame 1 in resize_part at part.c:844 in libblockdev-part-0:2.24-5.fc33.x86_64 which was passed to ped_geometry_set_start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-disk-utility-3.38.0-1.fc33.x86_64 udisks2-2.9.1-2.fc33.x86_64 libblockdev-part-2.24-5.fc33.x86_64 parted-3.3-5.fc33.x86_64 How reproducible: This crash happened 5/5 times I tried it including increasing the extended partition by different sizes from 100-220 GB. Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect an external drive using USB using Fedora 33 2. start gnome-disks 3. set up a partition layout with an extended partition like described above 4. select Extended partition 5. click Additional partition options 6. select Resize 7. increase extended partition size to the rest of the available space 8. select Resize Actual results: udisksd segmentation faults in ped_geometry_set_start when increasing the size of an extended partition in gnome-disks Expected results: The extended partition would be increased in size properly. Additional info: I ran the following commands to run udisksd under valgrind: sudo systemctl stop udisks2 sudo valgrind --log-file=valgrind-gnome-disks-udisksd-4.txt /usr/libexec/udisks2/udisksd & An invalid read at the address 0x18 in ped_geometry_set_start at geom.c:183 resulting in a segmentation fault at that line happened. I guess that the crash address was for geom->end with geom = 0x0 plus the offset 0x18. ==2366== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==2366== Copyright (C) 2002-2017, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et

Parted has so many issues that we're slowly porting all partitioning code away from it. For the moment occassional crashes are expected.
Sorry to have lost track of this, it looks to me like ped_geometry_set_start() is being called from resize_part() in udisks? If that's the case, then it's a udisks problem. And in general for errors like this it is much easier to debug if you can reproduce it with the cmdline, or a small pyparted reproducer.

I'm reassigning this report to udisks2 instead of udisks since that's what gnome-disks was using. I haven't tried to reproduce this problem since I reported it as I repartitioned the drive in question using KDE Partition Manager. Thanks.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '33'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 33 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 33 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-11-30. Fedora 33 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
