Sorry about the delay on getting back on fdisk/disklabel. We have had some family interruptions. My dad died just before Christmas, than my mom went in the hospital a few weeks ago for congestive heart failure. So it's been a bit chaotic lately. We will try to bump up the priority on the partitioning tools. Chet started working on some cleanup on the code today to prepare the new fdisk for others to evaluate. Give is a another couple days and I will try to get back with some more concrete answers. > > Greetings, > Tobi > > > 5 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, CA 95125. > Status: O > Content-Length: 902 > Lines: 33 > > sd.org > To: [email protected] > Status: O > Content-Length: 820 > Lines: 26 > > Jost Tobias Springenberg wrote: > > Is there any chance of this moving forward ? > > As mentioned in my previous post I really need this feature :).
