Hi Jim,

Does the following text description meet your needs, or do you need it 
in the form of a git patch?

** bug fixes

  libparted: improved ability to inform kernel of partition changes.
  For example, sometimes when editing partitions the kernel does not
  get informed, such as when resizing or creating a new partition.
  This causes future problems because the kernel has incorrect
  information.  For example, an incorrect partition size might be
  displayed, or a user might encounter a failure to format or delete a
  newly created partition.
