Be sure to apply patches to GNU Parted 1.9.0.
When used with newer Linux kernels, such as 2.6.30, parted-1.9.0 fails
to inform the kernel of changes to the partition table. This problem
can be fixed with the following 'commit to os' patch:
http://git.debian.org/?p=parted/parted.git;a=commit;h=ad25892bb995f61b0ddf801ed1f74e0b1e7390ce
A list of several patches to parted-1.9.0 as used by the Fedora project
can be found at the following link:

One of the problems experienced has been tracked in the following
GParted bug report:
Bug #601574 - ERROR: Current NTFS volume size is bigger than the device
size!
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601574
This problem appears in earlier versions of GNU Parted which have been
taken from the Parted git repository:
Bug #557044 - Parted 1.8.8.git.2009.07.19 not informing the kernel of
changes to the partition table
