Subject: bug#18549: parted causes scsi raid to not boot up.

Sir:

We are experiencing some odd behavior with the parted command.

I am trying to reconstruct a partition table entry on a scsi raid drive.

When we do this our ending CHS is off by one.

It was FD FF FF and it becomes FE FF FF.

This prevents our system from booting up.

We are using version RHEL 5.8 and parted to reconstruct the  partition table entry.

Are there any known bugs with parted and scsi raid drives?

Can you possibly direct us to some literature that can help us solve this problem?

Many Thanks,

Eric Price.
