Severity: wishlist

Hello,

It'd be nice if parted could display the partition table in other formats
than just size, like fdisk can. For example display size of partitions in
sectors and cylinders.
And off course it would be equally as nice if also the commands could be
made to accept these different formats.

I don't really feel comfortable with the megabytes thing that parted
currently uses. I usually use sectors in fdisk, and would like to be able to
do the same with parted.


Regards,

Filip
