Hi Wei,
> This is same patch used on ioctl09,the page cache of loop0 can cache old
> version of the partition table which is then used by the partitioning
> code. Fix the problem by calling parted against the loop device directly.

Indeed I was able to trigger the same error:

But you change introduces one TCONF:

That means your change effectively disable that code. => NACK
in ioctl09.c uses the first command with "test.img", then loop device on the
second run.
Surprisingly trying to attach helps 'parted' to use it, although it produces a
warning:

Of course TWARN is also no-go.
@Jan @Cyril @Li Any hint what am I missing.
Besides missing there is missing TST_CMD_TCONF_ON_MISSING on the flags (see
today's fix [1]), but that's minor.
Kind regards,
Petr
