[parted-devel] 'print free': does not work

Oh, yes! I think so. I mistook 'freespace' as the freespace on each
partition's file system. My mistake.

However, the 'print <num>' command is also behaving strangely with
ext3 partitions. It works well with linux-swap partitions though. Here
is an example.

[root at Sunflower parted-build]# mount /dev/sda1 /media
[root at Sunflower parted-build]# parted/parted /dev/sda
GNU Parted 1.8.0
Using /dev/sda

Am I again missing something?

Happy hacking,
