Re: CRITICAL BUG

[Curtis Gedak]

If you cannot test different versions of parted, then perhaps you could 
provide the contents of the initial sectors of the drive containing the 
GUID Partition Table.

To capture these in a file you can use a command such as the following 
(as root):

     dd if=/path-to-your-disk-device of=gpt-34-sectors.bin count=34

Where /path-to-your-disk-device is something like /dev/sda

WARNING:  Be sure to type the command correctly to avoid loss of data.

And then attach the file "gpt-34-sectors.bin" to this bug report.

Regards,
Curtis
