Hi, The inimitable Stephen Powell sent something like the two patches below to <http://bugs.debian.org/578097>. It seems that they teach the dasd driver in parted to handle CMS-labeled partitions, which are a little more flexible and probably more common than the LDL format libparted already supports.
Unfortunately, I do not have a specimen to experiment with, so I cannot say if my whitespace tweaks and so on broke the patch. Stephen, would it be possible to put up an image of a tiny partition to try this out with? The support is for reading only because that is what is most needed. I don’t imagine there would be any major technical obstacles to teaching parted to write these partitions, too. Thoughts?
