[Bug 1543704] Re: Gparted crashed on loading

[Phillip Susi]

Actually Curtis, there have been a few reports of this upstream
recently.  It seems that some partitioning tool out there likes to start
logical volumes on the very first sector following the previous logical
volume, rather than leaving one or two sectors to hold the EBR, and
instead locate the EBR for that volume somewhere else.  libparted can't
deal with this.

antoni helms, if you could add the output of fdisk -l that would help
confirm that is the case here.  Also if you can tell us what sort of
partitioning tools you have been using to get the disk into this state
that might be helpful.
