[Bug 1012946] Re: dm-part-sync.patch breaks creating multiple partitions on a LVM volume

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

When running the test case as described in the bug description, with the
fixed package by psusi, I go this:

$ sudo parted --script -- /dev/internalhdd/test mkpart primary ext4 3 4
Error: You requested a partition from 3000kB to 4000kB.
The closest location we can manage is 4194kB to 4194kB.

Changing to create the second partition further down, succeeds.

Phillip Susi, can you please use the
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template template
and adjust the bug description suitable for an SRU ?

  If I remove rebuild parted without the dm-part-sync.patch  (actually,
  also without dmraid.patch and udevadm-settle.patch, otherwise it would
  not build), it works properly:

  
  root at matrix:~# lvcreate -n test -L 10M matrix
