What does lsof /dev/sda6 show when you hit this? Something is holding onto the partition which is preventing lvm pvremove from running and causing problems with parted.
[anaconda root@ppc64lehamzytest2 ~]# lsof | grep sda
Another user experienced a similar problem: Anaconda stopped responding to keyboard as I was entering root password.

Brian, I think this is duplicate of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081712 I've hit the same problem with multipath device and ABRT sent me here. naconda 21.33-1 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/parted/disk.py", line 213, in commit return self.__disk.commit() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/parted/decorators.py", line 41, in new ret = fn(*args, **kwds) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/formats/disklabel.py", line 271, in commit self.partedDisk.commit() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/devices.py", line 1706, in _destroy self.disk.originalFormat.commit() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/devices.py", line 896, in destroy self._destroy() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/deviceaction.py", line 331, in execute self.device.destroy() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/devicetree.py", line 290, in processActions action.execute() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/__init__.py", line 313, in doIt self.devicetree.processActions() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blivet/__init__.py", line 171, in turnOnFilesystems storage.doIt() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/install.py", line 167, in doInstall turnOnFilesystems(storage, mountOnly=flags.flags.dirInstall) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 766, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 227, in run threading.Thread.run(self, *args, **kwargs) IOException: Partition(s) 1, 2 on /dev/mapper/mpathb have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use.

Good catch. I'm still not sure what's going on here but lets keep them all on one bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1081712 ***
