[Parted-maintainers] Bug#272734: parted: There are no possible configurations for this FAT type.

[Kingsley G. Morse Jr.]

Package: parted
Version: 1.6.11-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

Thanks for maintaining Debian's parted package.

It's important.

The main reason I'm writing is to report what
appears to be a bug:

    root:~ parted /dev/hda1 check
    Partition number? 1                                                       
    Warning: Partition 1 is 11443.821Mb, but the file system is 2996.468Mb.   
    Ignore/Cancel? i
