Subject: Support for user-mode Linux UBD devices

Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2004 20:46:17 -0700

Package: parted
Version: 1.6.9-3.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

With this patch, parted can recognize UML UBD devices, which emulate
physical disks.  Without it, changes to UBD devices are treated as files,
and changes aren't communicated to the kernel.

Among other things, this is useful for testing debian-installer under UML.

The patch can be found here:
