Title: [Sisuite-devel] parted -> sfdisk change
Can somebody with ia64 try imaging a node with systemimager trunk?  If this indeed breaks ia64 support we need to get this reverted.
 
For your convenience I have already built the RPMs (which is from the latest trunk), so please test it out and let us know.

(Note, this is a _development snapshot_ of 3.5.4, not the release)
 
Thanks,
 
Bernard

I'm concerned that this change

    http://svn.sisuite.org/diff.php?repname=systemimager&path=%2Ftrunk%2Flib%2FSystemImager%2FServer.pm&rev=3272&sc=1

will break things on platforms that use GPT partitioning, such as ia64,
which cannot use sfdisk.  We could do a test and use sfdisk on a
specific set of archs, but it would be even better if we could patch
parted to "do the right thing".

I had discussions with the author of parted back when I added the
GPT/ia64 support to SystemImager, and I think he'd be willing to
consider a patch as long as it didn't break other functionality.

Cheers, -Brian
