[Phillip Susi]

** Project changed: parted => gparted

** Changed in: parted (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Changed in: parted (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- gparted shows empty disk
+ parted refuses to work with a partition that goes beyond the end of disk

** Changed in: parted (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Medium => Wishlist

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: gparted
- 
- The bug appears in gparted.
- 
- the command "sudo fdisk -l" shows my normal partition table, but gparted
- fakes a completely empty harddisk. Space not allocated.
- 
- The command line tool parted also do not work properly. When i try to
- print the partition table from parted. i have this error message:
- 
- Erreur: On ne peut avoir de partition en dehors du disque ! 
- Error : It is not possible to have partition outside the disk.
- 
- I am also surprised that my disk was renamed from hda to sda after the
- feisty upgrade.
- 
- -- 
- package version
- gparted 0.2.5 / parted  1.7.1
+ (g)parted can not work with a disk that has a partition that goes beyond
+ the end of the disk.  It should report the problem, but allow you to
+ ignore and so you can use parted to correct the issue instead of fdisk.
