sfdisk has to be run as root but it's fine because KPM KAuth helper can run commands as root. On the other hand, libparted was a library.
partman might have worked if somebody wrote a backend for it but sfdisk now has enough functionality anyway. Some things are hard to fix with libparted, e.g. libparted has no support for hybrid MBR. So we would just silently corrupt such setups with no way to fix it. We have more direct control over partition type with sfdisk, although, these partition flags don't matter that much anyway... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752876 Title: sfdisk: allow disabling boot flag on MBR partition table To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/1752876/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
