[parted-devel] [PATCH] parted: make the warning message more informative

[Petr Uzel]

Following parted message is not quite useful:

Error: You requested a partition from 2.00MiB to 3.00MiB.
The closest location we can manage is 2.00MiB to 3.00MiB.

Improve the message by including exact geometry (in sectors):

Error: You requested a partition from 2.00MiB to 3.00MiB (sectors 2048 - 3072).
The closest location we can manage is 2.00MiB to 3.00MiB (sectors 2049 - 3072).

* parted/parted.c (do_mkpart): Include exact partition geometry in
the warning message.
