Hello,
I got parted to actually start up, but I'm getting some messages that
concern me and solicit any help available. I'm running Red Hat Linux
7.1 on a SCSI system. On giving the command:
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./parted
I get the message: bus error (core dumped)
after
# parted /dev/sda
I'm told
Warning: The operating system thinks the geometry on /dev/sda is
2233/225/63. Therefore cylinder 1024 ends at 8032.499M. You should
check that this matches the BIOS geometry before using this program.
Ok. let's see what happens further.
(parted) print
Warining: Unable to align partition properly. This probably means that
another partitioning tool generated an incorrect partition table,
because it didn't have the correct BIOS geometry.
Ignore Cancel ? i

I'm practicing using parted on a scsi machine at home in order to
hopefully do some surgery on a similar machi ne at work. I want to grow
my / partition into a /data partition. There's no data in the /data
partition so I'm not worried about losing anything there.
What do I do now?
Thanks.
