Hi. Version 2.3 is very old. Do you get the same result with the
newest version 3.2?

I did not try with version 3.2.
Debian seems to have version 2.3 in its repositories.
I will try and see if I can get the newest version on my system.

Debian 7 is using an ancient version of parted.  This particular bug
was fixed long ago.  I suggest upgrading to jessie, or at least
install the newer parted package from there.
