I'd be delighted to support them -- as in, I am honestly eager to add ATARI support; that sounds awesome -- I just need some way to test the implementations, either via someone running it on the environment, or getting access to such a machine. > I think it makes little sense to not use libparted as it already supports > all common and less common partition types and reimplementing everything > that libparted makes little sense to me. parted did not have ZFS support when I embarked on this project (it appears to have it now). i would not be opposed to leveraging libparted if it presents a definite advantage; supporting more partition types, so long as it exposes an API i can easily work with, would be such an advantage. i do note that libparted2 is 621K in the archive, whereas growlight itself is only 555K. it is of course possible that all that weight is desirable functionality. with that said, i would *still want to test on the target environment*, to make sure i'm using libparted correctly there. so that necessity remains. would this allay your concerns? --nick -- nick black -=- https://www.nick-black.com to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe.
