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.
