Almost. As it stands, libparted can't delegate out I/O to external programs, because its filesystem API address in terms of disk sectors rather than partitions. libparted could be improved to map sectors back to partitions for external communication, though. (I wonder if clever use of devicemapper could make this very simple?) Also, error handling (especially with i18n) could be somewhat painful with this approach. Cheers, Andrew
