Ver 3.2 reported a bug and told me to mail you:

After entering 'print' on an external USB HDD that is giving some odd errors, parted returned:

Assertion (dev != NULL) at ../../libparted/disk.c:185 in function ped_disk_new()
failed.

Aborted

See also:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo parted sdb unit co print unit s print
Error: Could not stat device sdb - No such file or directory.
Retry/Cancel? c

Thanks,

Landon
