Why is systemd deleting and recreating the partitions?  It shouldn't be
doing that should it?  And isn't this a bit of a hacky workaround to the
race condition rather than actually fixing it?  Maybe parted needs to
take out the bsd lock to tell systemd to keep its hands off of the disk
until parted is done with it?
