so 2 things come to my mind right now.... Does the kernel (loop driver) do the right thing by not clear/reset the loop device' stats after the umount/detached operation ?
and/or Does parted need to be smarter and not only based is detection on stat() to assume if its a legit device or not to be probed ?
