Parted version: 3.1.6-e38d-dirty
Summary: mkpart appears to be wiping out existing GPT attributes.
To reproduce, consider the below example of me reproducing this issue. It
doesn't seem like Parted should be clearing out existing GPT attributes for
other pre-existing partitions just by creating a new partition with mkpart.
[root@sta-jenkins-slave-01 /opt/template-automation/distros]# lvcreate -L 10G
-n test LVM
Logical volume "test" created
[root@sta-jenkins-slave-01 /opt/template-automation/distros]# parted

Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
The operation has completed successfully.

Can someone confirm this isn't expected behavior? I am happy to help with
testing, on latest stable (3.2) or latest master if its useful. Our workaround
for now is to globally re-apply the GPT attributes after creating all
partitions.
