[parted-devel] Trying to read ZFS-labelled disks with Parted

Parted has been ported to Nexenta as well. You could try to see
whether it takes care of the issues that you have raised. There is
also something called solaris-parted
(http://code.google.com/p/solaris-parted/), but I think this one is
different than the one found in Nexenta's repositories, because last
time I tried Nexenta (a month back) it had a patched Parted 1.6.x  in
its repository.

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
