[Bug 1361594] Re: Memory corruption when runnning fs-check on a fat32-formatted partition

[Curtis Gedak]

Alexander, I believe the problem is with the underlying libparted
library.  The problem exists in Ubuntu 14.04 with libparted
2.3-19ubuntu1, and also with our latest GParted Live 0.19.1-1 with
libparted0debian1:i386 2.3-20.

As such, there is no need to perform the test I requested.

Instead I have requested an update GParted Live with libparted-3.2+ from
our Live Image maintainer.  It would be good to test once that is
available.

  Memory corruption when runnning  fs-check on a fat32-formatted
  partition

Status in “gparted” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  What you expected to happen:
  I expected a sucessfull filesystem check of the fat32-partition.

  
  What happened instead:
  This:

  $ sudo gparted
  ======================
  libparted : 2.3
  ======================

  *** Error in `/usr/sbin/gpartedbin': malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000001129ea0 ***
  Aborted (core dumped)

  I started the application, chose the partition I wanted to check for errors and then started the check - and this happens, every time.
