Oh, I didn't realize that. That is of course a worthy goal, although I imagine hard to achieve. > I think introducing non power-loss proof operations could be > disturbing. It would be better to write another program to perform > such operations. Hmm, perhaps they would be disturbing. Though I tend to think big enough warnings are enough, there will always be those who shoot themselves in the foot (without backups). Then again, this is unix, and there are already plenty of ways to do so - even without a warning :). Another thing is that while writing simple hack for the job would not be terribly complicated, making it adequately robust and refined (having it understand the partiotion boundaries rather than requiring raw sector addresses) would certainly not be easy. And this is where I think the parted infrastructure might help. But I do understand your point of view. -- v -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Bug-parted mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
