Ok, thanks for the information.  

Another question.  Using libparted, is there any way to get/set the
partition type of a given partition.  For example I'd like to create a
partition of type Linux or Linux swap (types 83 and 82 respectively),
but not put any filesystem on that partition, and I'd like to be able to
find out the type of an empty partition.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
