[Bug 1641308] Re: Partitions display wrong in gnome -disks - ok in gparted

[Robie Basak]

Hello hockenberry, or anyone else affected,

Accepted parted into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/3.2-20ubuntu0.3
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  Partitions display wrong in gnome -disks - ok in gparted

Status in parted package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in parted source package in Xenial:
  Triaged
Status in parted source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact

  gnome-disk-utility sometime displays the wrong partitons informations

  
  * Test case

  On a system with an extended partition start gparted, close it and
  start gnome-disk-utility, the layout displayed should be correct

  
  * Regression potential
  check that partitions handling is still working correctly in g-d-u

  --------------------

  The partitions displayed by gnome-disk-utility are wrong. When i use
  gparted the partitions displayed are correct.

  The display became wrong after i deleted 1 partition from the disk
  using gnome-disk-utility.

  Here is a screenshot of the 2 tools vision of the same disk:

  Here is the fdisk:

  I get *very nervous* when tools that have write access to partitions
  can't display them properly.

  Good hunt
