Some comments on two issues. I share them with the list now, so I don't forget in the near future when I am posting all the patches for the bugs.

This turned out to be a reproducible error. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to come up with a test related to this issue. My approach was to create a device-mapper device and try to reproduce what I had seen in test with "real" devices. Since parted has a different code path with device-mapper devices, this was not possible. With this in mind I decided not to create any test for this patch. > > 5.

The link above contains info. I could not reproduce this one. To the best of my knowledge it should already be addressed as the reporter is using a parted version that is oldish. Still 6 issues to go. I will hopefully finish them by the end of the week and we can begin the 1.8.9 release process. > > 6.
