Description Hans de Goede 2009-11-06 17:04:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
With > 1TB disks becoming available, the msdos maximum partition size of 1TB is
becoming a problem.

In order for anaconda to properly restrict the size of partitions it creates on
msdos disklabels, it needs to be able to query libparted for the maximum
partition size.
Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 15:14:42 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2009-12-18 10:16:36 UTC 
Fixed in parted-1.9.0-24.fc13 / upstream 2.1, I'll send patches to the pyparted mailing list adding pyparted support for these shortly.
