Sure, no problem - for the moment these patches will stay in experimental until someone pops up with the same problems you were experiencing and/or willing to test the patches.

Yet, I don't see this as critical as it's just about preserving swap partitions, which does seem to be a very rare scenario. Just commit a patch that refuses to preserve a swap partition ;) I'm only half-joking here, it's not like formatting a swap partition takes 10 minutes (unlike ext* ...). I'll reply to the other parts of this thread in a few minutes; I just wanted to restate that I don't see any release criticality in this problem, so we are not going to get this into stable anyway.

[...] ... I was kind of aware of the fact that linux-swap(v1) was shown by parted, but its documentation does not state that it would also be acceptable as input to mkpart and frieds. But of course I hadn't thought of the fact that my code would try to rebuild a partition as shown by parted print, and hence use the same string, including the (v1). Peter, would you be available for testing a patch, or even one of the experimental versions? I'll try to re-review your patch as soon as possible and might commit a somewhat different version. Yet, I don't see this as critical as it's just about preserving swap partitions, which does seem to be a very rare scenario. I've added your patch (almost verbatim, just updated for the experimental stuff) to the experimental branch. It's included in 4.0~beta2+experimental25. I guess it'll have to sit in experimental for a while as it doesn't seem to be justified to claim this is RC. Thanks a lot for pointing out the problem -- and thanks for providing a tested patch!! Even though I had first thought of solving the issue in a different way, yours seemed to be both more straightforward and future-proof: It will also cover whatever strange file system times might come up in future versions of parted, this patch will do it.

Hi Peter! Hello again, If I'm correct, then the included setup-storage should support raid on whole disks, and LVM on top of it. But if I use: [...] While this probably should work, and I'll look into this again to see what is broken, the following workaround should do the trick: disk_config sda raw-disk - 0 - - disk_config sdb raw-disk - 0 - - ... (your config) Well, you'll need to use some version later than 4.0~beta2+experimental10; see also #589649 for more info on the raw-disk thingy.
