On Power Machine with Ubuntu14.04.4, the above patch did not help to resolve the parted command issue:

Installed package:
-------------------------
root@miglp2:~# dpkg -l|grep parted
ii libparted0debian1:ppc64el 2.3-19ubuntu1.14.04.2 ppc64el disk partition manipulator - shared library
ii parted 2.3-19ubuntu1.14.04.2 ppc64el disk partition manipulator

parted command shows ioctl fail message:
-------------------------
root@miglp2:~# parted -s /dev/mapper/mpath2 mkpart primary 20% 40%
Device /dev/mapper/mpath2-part2 not found
device-mapper: table ioctl on failed: No such device or address
Device /dev/mapper/mpath2-part2 not found
device-mapper: table ioctl on failed: No such device or address

As reported earlier, partx also fails:
-----------------------------
root@miglp2:~# partx -a /dev/mapper/mpath2
partx: /dev/mapper/mpath2: error adding partitions 1-2
root@miglp2:~# echo $?
1

Thanks,
