I have been able to confirm the above error using the latest parted
from the git repository (April 24, 2010). My testing used the Ubuntu
10.04 Beta2 distribution, a GPT partition table, and an existing
partition already mounted. When I try to create a new partition I
receive the warning message.
Next I took a plain vanilla copy of parted-2.2 and applied only the
two patches from this mailing list item:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2010-April/003552.html
My testing with plain vanilla parted-2.2 plus the two patches worked
100% without any warning being displayed.
This leads me to believe that there is some other change in the git
repository since parted-2.2 was released that is causing the warning
message to be displayed.
I have looked through the patches since parted-2.2 was released. The
patch that causes the warning message to be displayed is:
libparted: _disk_sync_part_table: always return 0 upon failure
