Parted command suddenly gone?

Postby sertarq » Thu Nov 06, 2014 12:21 am

I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place or if I have just lost my mind, but I'll continue.

Earlier today I was installing Arch on my USB according to the official Samsung Series 3 install guide. Somewhere along the line, my computer rebooted for some reason and I had trouble continuing the installation after that point, so I decided just to start completely over again just in case I had done something wrong. Somewhere in all of the reboots involved in getting into developer mode, I'm pretty sure there was a chromebook update. I started the install again, and this time it's telling me the "parted" command is unknown. I'm in root mode in crosh and can't think of anything else I've done wrong. Did ChromeOS decide to stop recognizing parted in the last couple hours?

Edit: I erased and reformatted my USB before I tried the install again, so it shouldn't have anything to do with partitions.

Update-I seem to have been able to work around it using the "fdisk" command, but "parted" is still unknown :?

Looking around the internet it seems like parted is indeed gone from ChromeOS at least for the time being. I've tried installing per the official guide but using fdisk instead and I've been getting varied results, the usual error is an EXT4-fs error for device /dev/sda3. I know that some report fdisk as being unreliable especially with GPT, but I'm a novice linux user and someone more experienced could probably get a more solid install without using parted. If parted stays out of ChromeOS for long, is it possible that we could get a workaround install guide for the Samsung 3 series?

Yes, we're investigating a method to get around this.
