[parted-devel] [PATCH 2/2] parted: print disk geometry even if the disk does not have partition table

[Petr Uzel]

Disk geometry is independent on the presence of valid partition table.
So parted could print geometry information if called with chs or cyl
as default unit.

* parted/parted.c (do_print): print disk geometry if the disk
does not contain valid partition table and default unit is cyl
or chs.
