Oops... I accidentally sent an unfinished mail. The info I did not put:
On GParted bugzilla, a bug about parted 1.9.0 not informing the kernel of changes to the partition table has been confirmed [1]. I believe this bug also exists in the parted 1.8.8.git.2009.07.19-5, which is now in Debian Sid. A patch file on git.debian.org is available: http://git.debian.org/?p=parted/parted.git;a=commit;h=ad25892bb995f61b0ddf801ed1f74e0b1e7390ce Or you can find it at the fedora site: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=129982 Hope this one can be applied in parted 1.8.8.git.2009.07.19-5, or the upcoming 1.9.0 (if it will be available soon), too. My 2 cents. [1]. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601574#c13 Steven Shiau wrote:
