Firstly, if at all possible, you're better off doing it with disks unmounted, booting from a gparted live CD.
Secondly, if that's not practical, that message is common when using, say fdisk. Sometimes, running partprobe afterwards will reflect the new partition scheme, other times, you may just have to reboot.
On C6, kernel 2.6.32-573.26.1.el6.x86_64, GParted did not succeed using
GParted 0.19.1 Libparted 2.1
On C5, kernel 2.6.18-410.el5, Gparted succeeds with some HDDs, but not others, using
GParted 0.4.8 Libparted 1.8.1
Using a 'rescue' disk, Parted Magic 2013_02_28, I ran Gparted version 0.14.1 Libparted 3.1 on a Linux kernel of 3.7-9-pmagic. It created the partitions and formatted them without problems.
Never had a gui partition creation problem when installing from C 6.5 minimum install disk
Have I found a bug in C6 ?
