Hacking parted to work with BSD disklabels ...

[Timshel Knoll]

Hi Andrew et al,

I'm mucking around trying to get *BSD diskables read in parted. This should
be easy enough with a full disk disklabel (ie. not a disklabel in a MSDOS
partition), but as soon as you have a disklabel in a DOS partition it
creates problems ...

I'm looking for a workaround solution to this. The only ideas I have come
up with is to either add calls in disk_dos.c to some bsd_* stuff, or to
add a new FS type which is actually a wrapper around the bsd disklabel
stuff. I think that the former is the preferable option.

Any other ideas on how to do this? (comments/suggestions/issues etc)

Thanks,

Timshel
