I just tried with parted-2.3 it seems to work fine here (I have used 2 devices in raid1 array, but that shouldn't make any difference). Strace shows that necessary BLKPG* ioctl()s have been called and created partition shows up (in /proc/mdstat and /proc/partitions). Could you please try to run parted in strace and post the output here? e.g. strace parted -s /dev/md1 create primary 1M 10M If this works for you than it is likely something in gparted.
