Your remark is both harsh and unconstructive. I don't think that the fact that you, Tobias, are extremely let down matters much to the project. Calling "fdisk" or "parted" directly would not provide the auto-partitioning feature, and would be less convenient when it comes to encryption and partition mount points selection. It's no secret that the partitioning code can be improved like many other Guix areas. If you feel like you can refine it, in term of stability and general UX, we would be glad to get your support.
