Bug report for parted 1.6.9

[Jesse Becker]

As requested by the parted program, I'm sending this bug report.

The device in question is an AoE device, built from 10 400GB hard drives, 
configured into a RAID10 array.  There are *no* existing partition tables or 
GPT disk labels on the device.

I appear to be able to create GPT labels without trouble, if I ignore the 
error message, so this may simply be cosmetic.


Error text follows:
