Comment 38 for bug 1473903

This is working correctly.
Marking as verification-done.

After partitioning with parted, there's only one device node for the partition (with the -part disk-partition separator).

There's /still/ some messages in parted mentioning it could not find the device, but the partitions are created correctly -- note those messages were already present in the original bug report, so this is not a regression.

After some more play, all correct: only 1 node per partition (-part).
