[Bug 1543704] Re: Parted can't handle lack of space between logical partitions

[Roberto Pogliani]

I tested a workaround that seems to be good till when this bug will officially fixed
I am installing Ubuntu 16.04.1
When mooving a partition with gparted I got the same bug: 
metadata_length > 0, add_logical_part_metadata() failed
After reading your comments, I edited the partition and put a small unallocated space after partition, just 2MB
In this way partition has been moved and resized correctly without errors
