No, what I meant was: proposing this change without even mentioning its
(potential) impact on existing dmraid users is IMO completely
irresponsible behavior. The way you proposed the patch looked like "hey
folks, look what a nice and simple one-line solution I have found for
this whole issue".
To me the patch looked like an extremely simplistic attempt to shift the
work away from parted which has caused the regression to another package
without any thought of the consequences.
And from what I've seen in the logs sent by Giuseppe I also do not think
that the parted changes *in any way* improve the support for dmraid.
Also, there has been absolutely no justification given for the parted
change or why the added "p" would be better.
