[Bug 1435430] Re: Gparted crashes when running fsck on fat32 partition

[Curtis Gedak]

@Phillip, this report sounds very similar to the following upstream
report.

GParted crashes resizing fat16 file system 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735669

Mike Fleetwood posted a libparted patch to address the issue.

Perhaps this is the upstream patch you are referring too.

Title:
  Gparted crashes when running fsck on fat32 partition

Status in gparted package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I runned:
  kdesudo "gparted /dev/sdb"

  /dev/sdb is a usb memory stick with only one partition (sdb) which is formatted as fat32.
  In gparted I selected the partition (which was not mounted) and select from the context menu "check" and afterwards apllied the operation.

  Gparted reproducibly crashes on applying this change.
