Thank you! That is a welcome change. Thanks especially for including a test suite addition and the NEWS entry. I've made some minor changes to a log entry (I much prefer "partition table" to "disk label") and removed a trailing space in NEWS. > I would like to suppress the 'Error: /dev/sdX: unrecognised disk label" in the > output, but I don't know how to achieve that.

I haven't looked at that yet, but that's no reason to hold up the addition, so I've pushed these three change sets. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
