Hello, I've just begun reading about this problem, and have a quick question: What version of libparted are you using?
I ask because there have been significant changes in the area of detecting when partitions are active. In particular: v1.9.0-137-g048602c http://git.debian.org/?p=parted/parted.git;a=commitdiff;h=048602c1d5df93ddf4 ped_partition_busy: do not call the libparted exception handler Modify libparted/arch/linux.c _partition_get_part_dev() to not call _device_stat() but instead use stat directly, as _device_stat() calls the libparted exception handler, and we don't want this here, the only caller of _partition_get_part_dev() is _partition_is_mounted(), which in turn only gets called by linux_partition_is_busy(), and we don't want to "throw" exceptions from ped_partition_busy(). This issue was noticed in combination with pyparted as used by anaconda, see: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/527035#c10 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
