Looks unchanged to me.

You mean the warning about other partitions not being able to be
modified?  I was wondering about that.  If you are not planning on
making further changes then you can ignore the warning since it does not
effect the partition you just changed, so changing it to an error does
not seem justified.  Maybe something other than PED_EXCEPTION_IGNORE
should be used?  Perhaps ignore or fail?
