[Bug 1068535] Re: Parted fails to set 'boot' flag on RAID

[Phillip Susi]

The boot flag already appears to be set, and those messages about
ignoring extra data do not appear to be from parted.  Can you please try
to clarify your statement and/or repeat the test?

  Error: Partition(s) 5, 6 on /dev/mapper/nvidia_hebbffef 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.
