Joe, I've just had a thought.... as zram is actually a compressed area
of RAM and not a physical device, why would we expect parted to
recognise what is going on?  As far as I can read, it is actually
reporting things entirely correctly.


parted  is  a  disk  partitioning  and  partition resizing program.  It
       allows you to create, destroy, resize, move and copy ext2,  linux-swap,
       FAT,  FAT32,  and reiserfs partitions.  It can create, resize, and move
       Macintosh HFS partitions, as well as detect jfs,  ntfs,  ufs,  and  xfs
       partitions.  It is useful for creating space for new operating systems,
       reorganising disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.

Your thoughts on the matter?

Title:
  error on sudo parted -l

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” source package in Raring:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” source package in Saucy:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In the current kernel issuing such a command results in the following
  output:

  Error: /dev/zram0: unrecognised disk label

  Error: /dev/zram1: unrecognised disk label

  This bug will be tied to the raring kernel which also sees it.

  The 3.12rc1 and 3.12rc2 kernel does not show this behaviour. Please
  look also at
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1227202 for back
  ground information for this bug. It does not appear to be critical and
  this bug was found when investigating the crash / freeze issue.
