I managed to fix the issue by using "fdisk" and = delete all corrupted partitions from number 20 to 64.

Af= ter that, Parted and GParted worked again:

$ sudo parted /dev/sdb

And so does "gdis= k":

=C2=A0 APM: not presen= t
=C2=A0 GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using = GPT.

Command (? for help):=C2=A0

It looks like things were pretty corrupt, which is why parted crashed (basically to protect it from making things worse). But I wonder if it could have been fixed by restoring the backup partition table from the primary. If this happens again (hope not!) make a copy of the first and last 1M of the disk and email it to me so I can poke at it. Brian -- Brian C. Lane (PST8PDT) - weldr.io - lorax - parted - pykickstart
