error message from cfdisk.
Maybe it can help here also.

"For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord
so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall
say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh
upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and
they shall not escape." I Thessalonians 5:2,3
