Is there a good library that we could use?
libparted might be a possibility, but it seems rather over-weight.
/lib/libparted-1.9.so.12.0.0 is larger than /sbin/mdadm !!!
Are there any other libraries for reading different partition tables?
I guess we can open-code it if we have to but I'd be happy if another
solution could be found.
i don't think so,
but there are two tools
partx from util-linux
kpartix from multipath-tools (which is based on the former)
so we could either grab code from those or just invoke
partx -l (i believe every distro installs util-linux by default)
L.
Fyi , It seems Slackware does not install util-linux , It uses
util-linux-ng which does not have partx .
(afaik) util-linux was reported as not be being maintained . But
that is hearsay .
Sorry about replying to myself here .
It appears that I am mistaken , util-linux-ng DOES have a partx command
. At least the newest one (v2.16.1) does . Sorry about the Noise .
