[parted-devel] [Parted-maintainers] Debian Bug #578097: No support for CMS-formatted disks

[Stephen Powell]

In the process of testing and verifying my changes to parted, I have
discovered a bona-fide bug in the Linux kernel, one that prevents it
from reading the disk label in some cases.  See Debian bug report
582281 for details.

   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582281

I will write the parted code the correct way.  In other words, it
will assume that this kernel bug has been fixed.  If it hasn't,
the kernel and parted will disagree about the starting location
and size of the partition in some circumstances.  But parted
will be right and the kernel will be wrong.
