[Bug 1541510] Re: parted crashes on lvm, on a dasd drive

[Phillip Susi]

Then I'd say that the bug is actually in the kernel: it should *not* be
passing down the dasd partition manipulation ioctls. Patching parted to
ignore it based on GETGEO works around the problem and stops parted from
crashing, but ultimately, you do not want to allow any partitioning tool
to mess about with the dasd disk label through the lens of device-
mapper.
