[ug-bosug] Solaris parted

[nikhil v]

Greetings,

The basic functionality of GNU Parted (libparted) has been implemented to
work
on OpenSolaris. The code is currently at a very beta stage although the
basic functionality of editing fdisk partitions works on Solaris. The
following commands of parted are fully functional:
print, mkpart, mkpartfs, rm, mkfs, resize and toggle are fully functional as
of now.

The Parted code can be grabbed from: http://code.google.com/p/solaris-parted

The following are known limitations that we are currently working on:
* The code has only been tested on IDE disks. Support for SCSI is in the
pipeline.
* Solaris partitions are still displayed by parted as "unknown". We need to
  add the VTOC identification support to parted.
* The code needs quite some cleanup
* Device probing is still incomplete.

Regards,

Nikhil Vyakaranam,
