[Bug 1473903] Re: parted will generate two devices when adding one partition on mpath device

[Phillip Susi]

I'm not sure why the error from parted's mkpart command, but the fact
that there are two different devices is due to the multipath-tools guys
deciding to break traddition and configure their udev script to run
kpartx and ask it to create the partition with the form base-partX
rather than the baseX or basepX ( if base already ends in a digit ),
like the rest of linux has done since the dawn of time.  They need to
come in line with the rest of the world and use the correct naming
convention.

As for the parted error itself, can you try killing udev while issuing
that command and see if it still happens?
