GPT validation still failing with parted (Was: Bugs in parted's pte handling)

[Seth Goldberg]

Hi,

  This email is a followup to the thread posted here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2010-10/msg00010.html

  I didn't see any resolution and noticed that the latest parted release 
suffers from the same bug.  The original poster was correct in that Solaris 
will product a GPT partition table with 9 entries (this is mainly done by zfs 
when a "whole disk" is specified as part of zfs storage pool, and is very easy 
to duplicate, even in a [VirtualBox, VMWare] VM).  The original poster's patch 
also fixes the issue -- can I request that the patch be applied so that future 
parted releases can properly process these GPT labels?

 Thanks,
