On C6, kernel 2.6.32-573.26.1.el6.x86_64, GParted did not succeed using GParted 0.19.1 Libparted 2.1 On C5, kernel 2.6.18-410.el5, Gparted succeeds with some HDDs, but not others, using GParted 0.4.8 Libparted 1.8.1 Using a 'rescue' disk, Parted Magic 2013_02_28, I ran Gparted version 0.14.1 Libparted 3.1 on a Linux kernel of 3.7-9-pmagic. It created the partitions and formatted them without problems. Never had a gui partition creation problem when installing from C 6.5 minimum install disk Have I found a bug in C6 ? -- Regards, Paul.
