supported. Thank you.
Features
Does GNU Parted support logical sector sizes not equal
to 512?
|
Yes, but a lot of file systems and disk labels do not. Also,
real support of this is currently being added.
|
Does GNU Parted support physical sector sizes not equal to 512?
|
Support for this is being worked on.
|
Does GNU Parted support Intel EFI/GPT partition tables?
|
Yes.
|
Does GNU Parted support ext2/ext3 extended attributes?
|
No, not yet.
|
Already fixed bugs
I get the error:
Assertion ((C * heads + H) * sectors + S == A)
at ../../libparted/disk_dos.c:586
in function probe_partition_for_geom()
failed.

Fixed some time ago.

I get the error:

in function ped_disk_next_partition()
failed.

Fixed some time ago.
|
I get the error:
No Implementation: This ext2 file system has a rather
strange layout! Parted can't resize this (yet).
when attempting to resize my ext2 or ext3 partition.
|
Fixed in version 1.7rc1.
|
The rescue command always dumps core!
|
Fixed in version 1.7rc1.
Don't worry, this is known as a non-destructive bug.
|
Releases
Where do I find this version 1.7rc1?
|
1.7rc1 has not been released yet.
Check out the current development sources from the repository
and compile.
|
Why don't you release more often? Why does it take so long until
features get implemented?
|
We do not have enough developers at the moment.
Please volunteer if you are either able to code,
write acceptable English or donate money.
Note that this situation does not affect critical bug fixes.
