I think it is parted doing this in ped_disk_clobber which is called from various bits of the installer via ped_disk_commit et al. partman-base/parted_server.c seems to be the main thing which does this stuff. I don't see anything about preserving any parts of it though... Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
