You found a bug in GNU Parted! Here's what you have to do:
Don't panic!
Your report should contain the version of this release (3.2)
and the following history of commands you entered.
Also include any additional information about your setup you
consider important.
Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at dos.c:2305 in function
add_logical_part_metadata() failed.
Aborted
I tried running GParted when libparted reported an error.
Then I went to parted to see what errors it may report.
