Description Brian Lane 2021-08-30 22:23:09 UTC

Parted upstream has added a few improvements since RHEL 9 branched from F34. I'd like to backport them before 9.0 final:


* Add swap flag to msdos disklabel
* Escape colons in machine output
* Tell libdevmapper to retry remove when EBUSY
* Allow empty strings for the partition name on the cmdline for gpt partitions
* Add json output via --json cmdline switch

This will bring it up to date with the current code in Fedora.

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2021-10-06 23:03:29 UTC

Upstream parted now also supports the linux home GUID on gpt partitions, add that and some documentation fixes as well.

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2021-10-07 17:04:05 UTC

Moving to 9.1.0, I'll add bugs for the individual features.

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2022-05-19 21:21:29 UTC

Upstream now has a type command to set the mbr and gpt partition type to any possible value instead of limiting it to just the flags.

Comment 4 Brian Lane 2022-05-28 00:37:37 UTC

Ends up it's easier to just rebase on 3.5 and add the new patches instead of continuing to patch 3.4.
