2012-08-07 15:20:36 Phillip Susi description Gparted (0.11.0-1) crashes whilst scanning drives when opened normally. I opened up terminal and specified each device in turn - it can scan - and indeed work normally with - all of my drives (2 external, 1 internal, all NTFS formatted) bar one (internal) which has a Guided Partition Table rather than MBR, and two partitions: HFS+ and NTFS. Running gparted from a 12.04 beta Live CD. I ran it earlier from within Parted Magic and it worked just fine. I'll check the version used by that Live CD later and report back. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gparted 0.11.0-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-17.27-generic 3.2.6 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.93-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.305 Date: Sat Mar 3 07:10:27 2012 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120301) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gparted UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) The GPT LastUsableLba claims the disk is longer than it actually is. Parted should handle this error more gracefully and allow for repairing it. gdisk seems to let the error go undetected, possibly because it is using the size in the protective MBR rather than LastUsableLba.
