The basic functionality of GNU Parted (libparted) has been implemented to work on OpenSolaris.
I found the Parted present in Nexenta's repositories to be derived from some 1.6.x version. Since Nexenta is basically GNU/OpenSolaris, is there any similarity with it and the OpenSolaris you are referring to?
The Parted code can be grabbed from: http://code.google.com/p/solaris-parted Our port is derived from GNU parted version 1.8.1 Things we have added: * We have added libparted/arch/solaris.c. * We have also made changes to the build system and as such it only configures and builds only on Solaris. This is only temporary.
I had mailed the Parted maintainer for Nexenta and he had mailed me a diff to port GNU Parted 1.6.x to Nexenta. I had noticed the above two changes that you have mentioned that time too. The best thing would be for you to provide a diff against GNU Parted's Git repository. Is this feasible for you?
