Bug#511896: if a wait for some time it "works"
When I get the error...
parted_server: OUT: Error
parted_server: OUT: Error informing the kernel about modifications to
partition /dev/hda5 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux
won't know about any changes you made to /dev/hda5 until you reboot --
so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.

parted_server: OUT: Ignore
parted_server: OUT: Cancel

... and If I keep on trying both answers, namely Ignore and Cancel,
the messages in syslog repeat until, eventually, /var/log/syslog
says...
