RHBA-2013:0048 - parted bug fix

Synopsis

parted bug fix

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated parted packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The parted packages provide tools to create, destroy, resize, move, and copy hard disk partitions. The parted program can be used for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the libparted partition_duplicate() function did not correctly copy all GPT partition flags. This update modifies the underlying code so that all flags are correctly copied. (BZ#750396)

All users of parted are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
