This makes sense to me. Not sure how easy is to do it as I suspect that not only parted is used this way. BTW, this approach conflicts with this feature request: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6558 So, should wic rely on system utilities or not? If it should not then what would you suggest to do with #6558? -- Regards, Ed -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
