Description Neil Padgett 2002-07-31 03:44:13 UTC

Description of Problem:
If the user has a disk where the partition table is inconsistent (geometry
problems) then the user is warned multiple times.

First the user is warned about the inconsistent partition table. (parted error)
-> User selects IGNORE
Then, the user is warned that parted is unable to align the partition correctly
-> User select IGNORE

Ok so far, but then the above two messages appear again in the same order for
the same drive.

How Reproducible:
Always with an inconsistent partition table.

This has to do with how we get callbacks from the parted library, not sure we
can do much at this point.
