Description of problem: With > 1TB disks becoming available, the msdos maximum partition size of 1TB is becoming a problem. In order for anaconda to properly restrict the size of partitions it creates on msdos disklabels, it needs to be able to query libparted for the maximum partition size. Note a similar request for adding the needed functions will be filed against parted itself, and until implemented there this can of course not be implemented in pyparted.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The PartedDisk.maxPartitionLength and PartedDisk.maxPartitionStartSector are available for this in pyparted-3.0, closing.
