[Phillip Susi]

Probably not any time soon, which is why I suggested repartitioning the
disk to fix it.

Title:
  Incorrect GPT length should be handled better

Status in “gdisk” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The GPT LastUsableLba claims the disk is longer than it actually is.
  Parted should handle this error more gracefully and allow for
  repairing it.  gdisk seems to let the error go undetected, possibly
  because it is using the size in the protective MBR rather than
  LastUsableLba.
