[parted-devel] [PATCH] set swap flag on GPT partitions

[Arvin Schnell]

Hi,

attached is a patch to support displaying and setting (on already
existing partitions) the swap flag on GPT partitions.

So far the swap flag can only be set when creating a partition
and setting the file-system to linux-swap.

Output of print looks like:

Model: Maxtor 6 Y080L0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 82.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags: 

Number  Start   End     Size    File system     Name  Flags
 1      1049kB  8197MB  8196MB  linux-swap(v1)        swap
 2      8197MB  16.4GB  8196MB

Note that "linux-swap(v1)" and "swap" are independent, any
combination is possible.

Feedback is welcome.

ciao
  Arvin
