[parted-devel] [RFC][PATCH 0/1] direct handling of partition type-id and -uuid

[Arvin Schnell]

Hi,

here is a patch to display and allow to set the partition type
id/uuid for dos and gpt. This is needed for cases where a system
is "cloned", that is the partition layout is transfered to
another disk. But there are also way more type-uuids for gpt that
parted knows about so this allows the user to use parted also for
those type-uuids.

The patch is not finished, documentation and testcases are
missing.

Also for dos there is the problem that setting the "system"
variable does not set all the flags. I think test best would be
to drop those flags like it just happened for gpt.

Thanks,
  Arvin
