[parted-devel] Sector size 4096 's problem

[Coordinates]

Hi:

Recently we found a problem in using the parted programme in our device, the remote store server is iSCSI ,while can be set the sector size for 4096 ,But on the device we use the parted programme to make part for harddisk(actually is the remote hardisk in iSCSI server) it give the follow warning:
Warning: Device /dev/isda has a logical sector size of 4096.  Not all parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment
and the partition process can't execute, my parted version is 1.8.8 
How to solve the problem ?  We get the newest version 1.9.0 also the same result 
But if we set the sector size is (512 , 1024 , 2048 ) ,the partition process can be successful.
Help! please

Hello,
I'm using FAI to automatically install machines.  I'm getting the  
above parted error in the following situation.
FAI is run in a Xen domU calling parted on a LVM volume.  I also get  
this error when parted is called on a iscsi lun.  In both cases the  
lun is given to the virtual machine as a the device '/dev/sda'.
I have this problem with versions 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11.1 and 1.9.0.
(Please, notice the -s option)
root at shibidp1:/# parted -s /dev/sda unit TiB print
Error: Error initialising SCSI device /dev/sda - Invalid argument
(Please, notice that the -s option is not given)
root at shibidp1:/# parted /dev/sda unit TiB print
Error: Error initialising SCSI device /dev/sda - Invalid argument
Ignore/Cancel? I
Model: (null) (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 0.01TiB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number  Start    End      Size     Type     File system  Flags
  1      0.00TiB  0.01TiB  0.01TiB  primary               boot
  2      0.01TiB  0.01TiB  0.00TiB  primary
If I then quiet parted I get
*** glibc detected *** parted: double free or corruption (out):  
0x00007efff7afcab0 ***
That is then only with parted 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11.1.
So to conclude:
1) In my case, doing things with -s enabled doesn't work (either versions)
2) I get ' double free or corruption ' in the Debian Stable version.
All help would be appreciated as this is blocking the installation of  
virtual machines.
Rudy
