Did I elicity the bug when I partitioned the disk as follows?I have not read all relevant messages, but in case it helps you can check your exact device partition boundaries by running: parted /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3300622AS_******** 'unit compact print free unit s print free unit b print free'
That parted(8) incantation has issues, as does the disk: 2020-09-10 14:00:52 root@tinkywinky ~# parted /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3300622AS_******** 'unit compact print free unit s print free unit b print free' Error: The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that will be used.
parted: invalid token: unit

This is how I invoke parted(8):

Looking at the above information, my first partition starts at sector
2048 and ends at sector 586072063 (inclusive). Both of these values
represent 1 MiB alignment, so it appears that the partition has not been
affected by bug 923561.
