[Parted-maintainers] Bug#643625: Ability to override sector size

[martin f krafft]

Package: parted
Version: 2.3-8
Severity: wishlist

While libparted fails to detect the true physical sector size of
newer "advanced format" drives, please allow us to override the
detected size (_device_set_sector_size in libparted/arch/linux.c),
e.g. with a command line switch and/or a command.

Thanks,
