I used to use parted 1.7.7 as this was what was shipped by Ubuntu and Debian up until very recently. I used parted to add a partition table to disk images that I'd be using for virtual machines. When parted was updated to 1.8.8, this stopped working, since parted fails if telling the kernel to reread the partition table for the device in question fails. However, for disk images this makes little sense.
This patch makes libparted consider (ioctl(fd, BLKRRPART) || errno
== EINVAL) succesful.
