i had the same problem (i think).. my fix was to remove the
'end of disk' partition on the last partition and give it a
finite value until i no longer received the message. it took
about 4 tries until i honed it down about 10G from it's orginal
50G partition..  so basically, i lost 20% of my last partition
on all 650 machines.  oh well.. hopefully no one will notice
for a few years.
