Yes I am saying exactly that. The deletion of the virtual partition representing the whole disk on a loop table should do nothing and afterwards the virtual partition should still exist. I tried using parted 3.2 to delete the virtual partition on a loop table. Parted report it gone. Close parted and run again. It's back. There is no persistence on disk for removal of the virtual partition spanning a loop table disk. This is why I think it deleting it should be a no-operation. Mike
