Bug#619136: setup-storage fails to create 100% partition

[andrew bezella]

hello -

i'm using fai-setup-storage 3.4.8 and believe that i might be running
into the same bug as the original reporter.

i am attempting to create one big partition on a 3TB Hitachi HDS5C303
drive: 
Disk /dev/sdc: 3000.6 GB, 3000592982016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 364801 cylinders, total 5860533168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

the relevant excerpt from the disk_config is: 
disk_config sdc disklabel:gpt fstabkey:uuid align-at:4k
primary /0      100%            ext4    defaults

this causes fai to fail with the error: 
Disk /dev/sdc is too small - at least 3000592982016 bytes are required

the workaround of using "0-100%" instead of "100%" allows the install to
proceed.  per format.log the successful parted command is: 
Executing: parted -s /dev/sdc mkpart primary "ext3" 20480B 3000592961535B

can/should the bug be re-opened?  please let me know if there is any
additional information that would be helpful.

thank you.

andy
