Hello
Is this within the scope of parted maintainers ?=20

Problem :
I have built a Bare Metal Recovery disk, (Based on RecoveryIsPossible made =

by KenRobotti)
Added a TSM client and scripts to format amongst others the "ESX standard=20
server partition layout" for this company.
It is desireable to be able to create the VMFS partition "type fb" and
the VMCORE partition "type fc"=20

What I am looking for  ---

The first question ..:=20
Is it possible to get "parted" or any other application to make the fb and =

fc partition ?

The Next question ..:
If not there is an standard linux application to do the job, what should=20
be included in the Bare Metal Recovery , to fix the two partitions, before =

vmware esx is up and runnning again ?
