Description Richard W.M. Jones 2014-07-12 15:26:05 UTC
Description of problem:

With a 100MB block device:

$ sudo blockdev --getsize64 /dev/vg_data/tmp
104857600
$ sudo parted -s -- /dev/vg_data/tmp mklabel msdos mkpart primary 128 -128s 
Error: The location 128 is outside of the device /dev/dm-2.

If the size of the block device is increased a bit to 500 MB, then
the same command works fine:

$ sudo blockdev --getsize64 /dev/vg_data/tmp524288000
$ sudo parted -s -- /dev/vg_data/tmp mklabel msdos mkpart primary 128 -128s 
Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance.
$ echo $?
0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

parted-3.1-28.fc21.aarch64

Also tested parted-3.1-17.sa1.4.aarch64 which fails in the same way.

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.

OK, I see why this is not a bug.  I omitted '128s' ...
