My testing results of Phillip's patch can be found in the parted-devel mailing list: [parted-devel] > 63 heads. Why does this keep coming up? http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2011-February/003806.html
Derek, As you point out in comment #23, a work-around to this problem is to start with a new partition table. Of course if there was data on the disk device, one would want to back this up before writing a new partition table.
