[parted-devel] Test suite failures

I'm getting 3 test suite failures with current master that I just can't make sense of.  The first one is from t1100-busy-label.  The relevant sections of the log are:

+ parted -s /dev/sdf mkpart primary fat32 41 85
+ fail=1
+ compare /dev/null out
+ diff -u /dev/null out
- --- /dev/null	2011-12-06 23:56:13.872490003 +0000
+++ out	2011-12-07 00:33:06.184355798 +0000

+Error: Partition(s) 1 on /dev/sdf have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use.  As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use.  You should reboot now before making further changes.
+ fail=1

This looks like a bug in parted as partition 1 should not have been modified here -- only partition 2, yet it appears to be trying to update partition 1.  When I manually try to reproduce the error running the same commands the test does by hand, it works fine.

The second failure is in t8000-loop:

+ parted -s /home/psusi/parted/tests/gt-t8000-loop.sh.36vy/root/dev/loop1 mklabel msdos
+ fail=1
+ compare /dev/null err
+ diff -u /dev/null err
+ parted -s /home/psusi/parted/tests/gt-t8000-loop.sh.36vy/root/dev/loop1 mkpart primary 1 10

This looks like parted failed with no output message.

t8001-loop-blkpg.sh fails in much the same way, but I noticed that it tries to modprobe loop.  On Ubuntu, the loop module is built into the kernel, so this won't work.  I think this test needs modified to not try to load the module.
