Now, we only need to find someone with time to implement it :))

Ok. This probably is the reason why it doesn't work for me ? 

That said, i still cannot create ext2fs filesystems at all with parted,
but then maybe it is only the parted frontend which has problems.

I also have :

$ LANG=C sudo parted /dev/sda
Warning: Unable to determine if partitions are mounted via /proc/mounts or
/etc/mtab.  Make sure you don't attempt to resize or modify mounted file
systems.  (Even read-only mounted)
Ignore/Cancel? i                                                          
GNU Parted 1.6.6

When i try to acces my removeable scsi syjet drive as root. Doing the
same with my fixed harddisk that is mounted doesn't exhibit this
problem.
