Ok. Maybe I was wrong about the parition table (don't know what I
expected). But the size of the image (5944MB) is wrong. The real file
is 1.5GB.

This is because the image contains a mac partition table using a block
size of 2048 bytes since the image is meant to go on a cdrom, which has
a sector size of 2048 bytes.

No; that is correctly interpreting the partition table.

This has the size wrong, and shows no data since you bailed out of
trying to interpret the mac partition table.

Because fdisk does not know about mac partition tables.

Hi all,

[My name is Bj=C3=B8rn Forsman, end user of parted, I'm using parted as my
primary partitioning tool.]

When I run parted (latest version, 3.2) on an ISO file, it gets
confused about the block size:

  $ parted ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso p
  WARNING: You are not superuser.  Watch out for permissions.
  Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048
bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes.
  Ignore/Cancel?

If I select "Ignore", it misinterprets the size and the partition table:

  Model:  (file)
  Disk /home/bfo/Downloads/ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso: 5944MB
  Sector size (logical/physical): 2048B/512B
  Partition Table: mac
  Disk Flags:

  Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name   Flags
   1      2048B   6143B   4096B                Apple
   2      1479MB  1481MB  2425kB               EFI

And if I select "Cancel" it gets the size right but doesn't show any more d=
ata:

  Model:  (file)
  Disk /home/bfo/Downloads/ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso: 1486MB
  Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
  Partition Table: unknown
  Disk Flags:

Why cannot parted handle this like fdisk?

  $ fdisk -l ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso
  Disk ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso: 1.4 GiB, 1485881344 bytes,

  Units: sectors of 1 * 512 =3D 512 bytes
  Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I wonder if commit f98f791e19669b900345dad7d96ea4df974e4596
("libparted: device mapper uses 512b sectors") fixes this.
This commit is from february 2015. Any plans on making a new release?
(I'm an end user, I use released software.)

Best regards,
Bj=C3=B8rn Forsman
