I agree 100%. Don't hesitate to let me know at some time in the
future if I can provide any information from my system that can
help improve parted or partman; I don't plan on changing the
partitioning of this particular disk in the near future.
FWIW, these partitions were created several years ago by Partition
Magic. In the course of trying to debug this problem, I ran Partition
Magic, and it complained about the CHS values not matching the LBA values
for many of the partitions. It offered to correct this, which I
allowed it to do, but that didn't seem to help partman.
Perhaps Partition Magic allows one to create partitions that end in the
middle of a cylinder when more properly it should not.
