[Bug 633635] Re: Assertion (dev != NULL) at ../../libparted/disk.c:185 in function ped_disk_new() failed

[Phillip Susi]

This looks like it may be a bug in gnome-format.  Did you try using
parted directly?

Title:
  Assertion (dev != NULL) at ../../libparted/disk.c:185 in function
  ped_disk_new() failed

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: parted

  Using maverick
  Linux head.undifined.nl 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 05:14:15 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  parted (GNU parted) 2.3

  It failed upon my silicon power 16GB stick
  I saved the core file along with this bugreport
  and the lsusb -v is below that
