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

[Stephen Powell]

Well, my paperwork just came through today for assignment of copyright.
And it's just in time.  Here is a link to my second round of enhancements.

   http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/parted/dasd_complete.diff

These changes require my previous changes as a prerequisite.  Let me
know if you have any trouble with them.  The enhancement is

* Support all valid combinations of DASD format (CDL, LDL, and CMS),
  DASD type (CKD and FBA), and DASD driver (ECKD, FBA, and DIAG) supported
  by the Linux kernel.  Only CDL format on CKD DASD using the ECKD
  driver is supported for read/write operations on partitions
  (create, delete, move, and resize).  For all other combinations
  of DASD format, DASD type, and DASD driver that are supported by the
  Linux kernel, parted recognizes the pre-existing implicit partition;
  but it does not allow that partition to be deleted, moved, or resized;
  nor does it allow the creation of another partition on that DASD device.
