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.
Upstream parted now also supports the linux home GUID on gpt partitions, add that and some documentation fixes as well.
Moving to 9.1.0, I'll add bugs for the individual features.
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.
Ends up it's easier to just rebase on 3.5 and add the new patches instead of continuing to patch 3.4. PR here - https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/parted/-/merge_requests/6
Checked that parted-3.5-1.el9 is in nightly compose RHEL-9.1.0-20220609.0 Moving to VERIFIED
