<span class="ppt" id="_user_parted-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org"><span class="lg">Greetings,<br><br>The basic functionality of GNU Parted (libparted) has been implemented to work<br>on OpenSolaris. The code is currently at a very beta stage although the basic functionality of editing fdisk partitions works on Solaris. The following commands of parted are fully functional:
<br>print, mkpart, mkpartfs, rm, mkfs, resize and toggle are fully functional as of now.<br><br>The Parted code can be grabbed from: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/solaris-parted">http://code.google.com/p/solaris-parted
</a><br>Our port is derived from GNU parted version 1.8.1<br><br>Things we have added:<br><br>* We have added libparted/arch/solaris.c.<br>* We have also made changes to the build system and as such it only configures and builds only on Solaris. This is only temporary.
<br><br><br>The following are known limitations that we are currently working on:<br>* The code has only been tested on IDE disks. Support for SCSI is in the pipeline.<br>* Solaris partitions are still displayed by parted as "unknown". We need to
<br> add the VTOC identification support to parted.<br>* The following parted commands are not functional:<br>* The code needs quite some cleanup<br>* Device probing is still incomplete.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Nikhil Vyakaranam,
