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

[Oliver Grawert]

it is in libparted/labels/gpt.c:

1033       q = ped_exception_throw
1034         (PED_EXCEPTION_WARNING,
1035          PED_EXCEPTION_FIX | PED_EXCEPTION_IGNORE,
1036          _("Not all of the space available to %s appears "
1037            "to be used, you can fix the GPT to use all of the "
1038            "space (an extra %llu blocks) or continue with the "
1039            "current setting? "), disk->dev->path,
1040          (uint64_t) (last_usable_if_grown - last_usable));

that gets me a "Fix/Ignore" prompt.

Title:
  parted allows to fix broken GPT only interactively

Status in parted package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
