[Bug 1490608] Re: parted allows to fix broken GPT only interactively

What exactly is the message you get in interactive mode? this would help
track down the relevant code.

Title:
  parted allows to fix broken GPT only interactively

Status in parted package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  when physically resizing a disk (i.e. because it is a kvm image where
  you dd zeros to the end or because you dd'ed an image from a smaller
  disk to a bigger one) the GPT backup at the end of the device sits in
  the wrong sectors ...

  while parted offers you a yes/no question in interactive mode to fix
  this, there is no way to make use of this feature when using "parted
  -s" (scripted mode). parted should get an option to fix the GPT even
  when using it non-interactively i.e. from a "grow rootfs at first boot
  to full disk size" script.
