with an HFS or HFS+ signature, but with invalid ->total_blocks and/or
->block_size values.
+ parted now uses ext_range device sysfs attribute to determine maximum number
+ of partitions the device can hold. With this change, parted now correctly
+ informs kernel about new partitions on partitionable MD RAID devices.
+
** Changes in behavior
parted: mkpart command has changed semantics with regard to specifying end
subtracts one sector from the specified value. With this change, it is now
possible to create partitions like 1MiB-2MiB, 2MiB-3MiB and so on.
+ Device-mapper devices ( LVM, dmraid ) no longer insert a 'p' between the
+ base device name and the partition number unless the last character of
+ the base device name is a digit. This brings parted into compliance with
+ the partition naming of kpartx and "linux since the dawn of time", but
+ differs from the way that dmraid 1.0.0-rc16-3 operates. A patch to
+ correct dmraid has been submitted to ataraid-list@redhat.com. Without
+ this patch, parted and dmraid will both create duplicate partition devices
+ named /dev/mapper/foo1 and /dev/mapper/foop1.

** Build-related
"make dist" no longer builds .tar.gz files.
