Thanks, I've tested this locally and pushed it to the master branch of
parted. I'll add it to the rawhide version of parted on Fedora later
today.

Your patch was still malformed though, I had to clean it up a little --
it looks like thunderbird is deleting blank lines which make the diff
unable to apply. Luckily it was short enough I could manually tweak it.

In the future could you try using git send-email instead?

Thanks,

Brian
