Comment 20 for bug 159698

@Colin: this should be fixed in libparted 2.0 and higher, any chance we can get that into Lucid?

This is a bug that has been getting more & more common in all applications that use libparted, including parted, gparted & ubiquity (e.g. it seems the iPod Shuffle & some other mp3-players trigger this).

BTW: I have submitted a patch upstream for GParted to ignore for now any device that has a logical sector size != 512, but if I know that some distros (e.g. Ubuntu ;) ) will ship libparted 2.x, I'll try to find a way to make this conditional (once we're sure gparted itself is safe...).
