[parted-devel] [PATCH 2/5] Remove has_partitions check to allow loopback partitions

[Phillip Susi]

Commit 1b766b69 added the _has_partitions function to check if a device
was a loop device and if so, skip updating the kernel partition table
because loop devices did not support partitions.  This function never
worked anyway, and loop devices now ( since linux 3.0 ) support partitions,
so remove this crufty code.
