Description of problem: gparted gets a seg fault Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gparted-0.3.3-12.fc8 parted-1.8.6-8.fc8 How reproducible: Frequent, but I maybe not predictable. Seems to happen at the conclusion of a parted operation Steps to Reproduce: 1. erased a very corrupted ext3 file system (hung install of fc8t2 to a pen 4G pen drive); I powered off without dismounting 2. could not recover with e2fsck 3. used parted to erase the single ext3 partition and re-create it Actual results: parted gave segmentation fault: # gparted /dev/sdb ====================== libparted : 1.8.6 ====================== Segmentation fault Expected results: normal exit Additional info: I plan to install a debugging version of parted, to see if I can get more info. Resembles bug #251504, but I wasn't playing with removable media.
I can get a segmentation fault every time when I try to create an MSDOS label.
This is most likey a dup of bug #309251, which has just been fixed. Please test, and re-open if gparted-0.3.3-13.fc8 doesn't fix it.
