[Bug 945433] Re: gparted crashes on scanning GPT formatted drive

[Ahmad Moawya]

This message in system log during boot has particularly caught my
attention:

ubuntu kernel: [    4.322503]  sda: unknown partition table

Could the problem be kernel related?

Title:
  gparted crashes on scanning GPT formatted drive

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Gparted (0.11.0-1) crashes whilst scanning drives when opened
  normally. I opened up terminal and specified each device in turn - it
  can scan - and indeed work normally with - all of my drives (2
  external, 1 internal, all NTFS formatted) bar one (internal) which has
  a Guided Partition Table rather than MBR, and two partitions: HFS+ and
  NTFS.

  Running gparted from a 12.04 beta Live CD. I ran it earlier from
  within Parted Magic and it worked just fine. I'll check the version
  used by that Live CD later and report back.
