You found a bug in GNU Parted!

(...)

Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:2313 
in function add_logical_part_metadata() failed.

Aborted (core dumped)
````````````````````````````

Note that I do align the partitions in the real life, the operation 
above is just for simplicity.
I'm using Parted 3.2 from Ubuntu 16.04's software archive, I will try 
attach a coredump from the current HEAD of the master branch in the next 
reply.

(This is a re-send attempt as I seems to be failed to send to the 
mailing list itself)

Hi, I have the similar symptom myself so I'd like to share some of my 
details.

I recently bought an Intel SSDSC2BW240H6 240GB SSD and (probably) 
formatted to a msdos partition table using GNOME Disks(which seems to be 
Parted-based) then partitioned to "install" Ubuntu 16.04(and by 
"install" I mean I formatted an EXT4 filesystem and rsync'd the entire 
rootfs of my previously using Ubuntu 16.04 to the new filesystem then 
re-install the bootloader) via an USB 3.0 USB-to-SATA interface on a 
laptop.  The "install"ation went normally.

Then after few days later, recently, I plugged the new SSD on my desktop 
and working on a project which internally calls `parted` command for 
some information I encountered this "bug".

I can still reproduce on current master branch.

I'm a 100% Ubuntu/GNU/Linux user and I alway use Parted-based 
application to do disk partitioning so I'm pretty sure it's not some 
proprietary applications' issue.  Here's the fdisk output:

    Hi, I have the similar symptom myself so I'd like to share some of
    my details.<br>
    <br>
    I recently bought an Intel SSDSC2BW240H6 240GB SSD and (probably)
    formatted to a msdos partition table using GNOME Disks(which seems
    to be Parted-based) then partitioned to "install" Ubuntu 16.04(and
    by "install" I mean I formatted an EXT4 filesystem and rsync'd the
    entire rootfs of my previously using Ubuntu 16.04 to the new
    filesystem then re-install the bootloader) via an USB 3.0
    USB-to-SATA interface on a laptop.  The "install"ation went
    normally.<br>
    <br>
    Then after few days later, recently, I plugged the new SSD on my
    desktop and working on a project which internally calls `parted`
    command for some information I encountered this "bug".<br>

I don't mean in an attempt to fix this; I mean at any time in the past
have you ever used this program on this disk?  Also please don't remove
the bug from the Cc list; it is important to keep a record of the
information in the bug report.

Have you manipulated this disk with the "Easeus" disk partitioning
program?  I have seen another bug report about this on Ubuntu after
using this program.
