@Cyril: only single test require 'parted' as I reported in v1 [1].
Yeah, code gets slightly more complicated just because single test requires
parted. Or you would not care? IMHO it does not make sense to split test into
two (too much duplicity).

But TINFO message should be turned in TCONF so that people notice.
tst_res(TINFO, "Current environment doesn't have parted disk, skip it");

Kind regards,
