Could you maybe do an explicit vgchange -a y vg0 beforehand? Somehow it should
be possible to reprocduce the error that parted reports when doing, e.g., the
second mkpart. That error was

Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda2 --
Device or resource busy.

in http://paste.debian.net/67978/.

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Best,
Michael
