[Parted-maintainers] Bug#578097: No support for CMS-formatted disks in parted

[Stephen Powell]

It appears that upstream versions 2.4 and later contain all the enhancements needed.
These include:

   o   a bug fix for LDL-formatted disks that allows the partition starting
       sector and number of sectors to be calculated correctly if the
       block size of the disk is something other than 4096

   o   Support for CMS-formatted minidisks, both non-reserved and reserved

   o   Support for FBA DASD devices

   o   Support for the DIAG driver


For s390 users, these are major enhancements, and will be particularly advantageous
during installation.  Please package a new upstream version of parted for Debian
as soon as possible.
