My idea of mapping up to 3 GPT partitions as primary msdos partitions was to introduce a new 'set' option. Something like parted /dev/hda set <gpt_partition> gpt_to_msdos <msdos_partition> <msdos_type> But I did not have time yet to actually look at the involved code. From what I have seen up to now, it all has to be primary. And there is one fake (?) GPT partition #1 in any case. And parted 1.7 will wipe any existing msdos partition table entries on write. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
