I don't know what this means, but I was trying to fix
a corrupted usb memory device. I used fdisk to set
up partitions 1 to 4 and then in order to check that
it was all OK I ran
parted /dev/sda
and got the following print out:
Using /dev/sda
You found a bug in GNU Parted. Please email a bug report to
address@hidden containing the version (1.4.24), and the following
message:
Assertion (walk->geom.length > 5 * disk->dev->sectors) at disk.c:1093 in
function
_disk_check_sanity() failed.
Ignore Cancel ?
After that I had no way to quit the program except by suspending
(CTRL z) then kill.
I hope this means more to you than it does to me.
Using sfdisk /dev/sda prints:
address@hidden /tmp]# sfdisk /dev/sda
Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ...
OK
Disk /dev/sda: 994 cylinders, 2 heads, 32 sectors/track
Old situation:
Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 0+ 990 991- 31696 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/sda2 991 991 1 32 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/sda3 992 992 1 32 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/sda4 993 993 1 32 b Win95 FAT32
Input in the following format; absent fields get a default value.
<start> <size> <type [E,S,L,X,hex]> <bootable [-,*]> <c,h,s> <c,h,s>
Usually you only need to specify <start> and <size> (and perhaps
<type>).
