So, to extend the theoretical POV the way to go may have been: * Make the backend (udisks or equivalent) use python-blivet for a complete partitioning stack. * Let GNOME Disks expose only a "naive-user-friendly" subset of the functionality. * Let a full "blivet-ui" expose the full functionality. (obviously it's easier for me to do the talk than do the walk ;-) On another related front, can anyone relate this to similar technologies: * SystemStorageManager (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemStorageManager) * openlmi-storage (https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/openlmi-storage.git) * The last one is even implemented in python. Just to make clear -- I think multiple competing solutions in the same domain are totally OK, especially when it's not clear which technologies will get traction. So even though running UI's as root is really bad, thanks for the blivet-ui people for the effort to expose an important storage stack.
