Re: parted source access

Cool. :)

Perhaps you can add the ability to force parted to use certain disk
geometry, useful in our case (and I'm sure you'll be familiar with
this :)) when recovery partitions--in particular, IBM's--need exact
geometry offsets and the hd firmware reports this wrong, propagating the
"wrong" geometry up into parted and thus written out to disk upon close.

I modified libparted/linux.c a bit to try and add this in
_disk_probe_geometry, but it didn't really seem to make a difference,
and I didn't have time to further investigate where else I'd need to
tweak.
