[parted-devel] returning issue with resizing of logical partitions

Hola folks,

For a long time i've got reports from people who got their
partitiontable wiped when they tried to resize a logical partition.
Usually (if not always) libparted will throw something like this:

'/dev/sda -- wrong signature 2c9e.'

I have long dismissed this as an incident, but lately as we gather more
users i get this error more and more and i'd like to fix it. Maybe it's
not even a bug in libparted, but rather in my use of the API.
Anyway, i thought it would be interesting to see if this error rings any
bells before doing research.

I'm tracking the issue in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368199

Thanks in advance for any ideas :)
