After investigating this quite some bit, it turned out that even though it should be purely read-only, "parted -l" opens the disk device first read-only,
This is the probing done by parted itself,
then closes it, then reopens it read-write (for reasons we don't understand yet)
This second RW open is done by libparted - it simply does not care if the operation to be performed needs RW access or not. BTW, as I have less and less time for parted, I would like to offer it to anybody who would like to become a (co?)maintainer. Best, Petr -- Petr Uzel TL SUSE L3 Team 2
