Yes, as discussed on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, HAL will
provide methods PartitionDisk() for drives and FormatVolume() for
volumes.
Things like LVM might not be included initially but at least I want to
support LUKS in the FormatVolume() method. This is mainly because HAL
still needs a few fixes to provide interfaces for setting up a LV that
is backed by several PV's. It's not a lot of work doing the code, not
terribly interesting use-case and mainly just a lot of work testing
it. :-)
Exactly what parameters to be supported in PartitionDisk() and
FormatVolume() is still to be sorted out; we want to write this in a way
such that we can add LVM support without breaking anything.
