[parted-devel] [PATCH] fdasd.c: Safeguard against geometry misprobing

Fixes an issue with parted print being run against a logical
volume realised by extents on a physical volume residing on
a DASD.
We must make sure that geometry, device blocksize and DASD
attributes are present before we start format verifications
If any of it is missing this is not a DASD.
