[Bug 1212492] Re: cc_growpart broken if parted resizefs found

[Scott Moser]

** Description changed:

  As reported in bug 1212444, the partition growing is broken if growpart is found to be usable.
  There are 2 things that are broken,
-  a.) we invoke parted wrong (passing device after 'resizepart' rather than before)
-  b.) parted seems somewhat broken, and I dont know how to force it to do what we want.  See:
+  a.) we invoke parted wrong (passing device after 'resizepart' rather than before)
+  b.) parted seems somewhat broken, and I dont know how to force it to do what we want.  See:
  
  $ sudo parted /dev/vda resizepart  --script 1 </dev/null; echo $?
  Warning: Partition /dev/vda1 is being used. Are you sure you want to continue?

+ Um... yes, parted, i want you to do what I told you to do.
