[Parted-maintainers] Bug#788808: parted: incorrectly reads partition table, or crashes

[A Mennucc1]

You are right.

I used the command
# dd conv=notrunc if=/dev/zero of=a20_Lime_debian_3.4.90_release_3.img
bs=446 count=1
to delete the boot code.

Now the wheezy version of parted reports:
>  No Implementation: Partition 1 isn't aligned to cylinder boundaries. 
This is still unsupported.
while th Jessie version reports

/home/andrea/mnt/frivolo/media/R2D2/olimex/a20_Lime_debian_3.4.90_release_3.img:

Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

 2      17,8MB  3980MB  3963MB  primary  ext3
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
or in sectors

that is exactly what cfdisk reports

THX

    a.

ps: anyway I think that 'parted' should check as expressed above. You
may want to change the bug title
