[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Ver 3.2 reported a bug and told me to mail you:

After entering 'print' on an external USB HDD that is giving some odd
errors, parted returned:




*Assertion (dev != NULL) at ../../libparted/disk.c:185 in function
ped_disk_new()failed.Aborted*

See also:



*pi <at> raspberrypi:~ $ sudo parted sdb unit co print unit s printError: Could
not stat device sdb - No such file or directory.Retry/Cancel? c*

Thanks,
Landon

I'd need more of the backtrace and maybe a copy of the MBR to figure out
more. But coupled with 'giving some odd errors' I'd guess you have a
hardware problem. Check your system's logs for i/o errors related to the
device. If that's the case there's nothing parted can do about it.

You told it to use sdb, not /dev/sdb in that case :)
