Hi Curtis, Thanks for writing all that. It's good to know that retaining parted's partition moving functionality is feasible, with only minimal FS-specific hooks. Now it's "just" a question of adapting and integrating the changes, and adding many unit tests. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
