[Bug 1490608] [NEW] parted allows to fix broken GPT only interactively

[Oliver Grawert]

Public bug reported:

when physically resizing a disk (i.e. because it is a kvm image where
you dd zeros to the end or because you dd'ed an image from a smaller
disk to a bigger one) the GPT backup at the end of the device sits in
the wrong sectors ...

while parted offers you a yes/no question in interactive mode to fix
this, there is no way to make use of this feature when using "parted -s"
(scripted mode). parted should get an option to fix the GPT even when
using it non-interactively i.e. from a "grow rootfs at first boot to
full disk size" script.

** Affects: parted (Ubuntu)
