Hello developers,

Replying to thread
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2022-04/msg00001.html
It seems like there's already a patch for this issue:
https://www.mail-archive.com/parted-devel <at> alioth-lists.debian.net/msg00196.html

Is there anything left to work on to fix this? Apart from Clonezilla
problems, this bug results in inability to see the partition layout of
disks with ChromeOS installed in anaconda and ubiquity installers and
prevents edits in GNOME Disks. Judging from the positive responses to
the patch, it seems it just slipped through the cracks. I hope it's
still the right solution.
