The timeout is Aug 29, 2008. This case adds GPT label support to the disk-label package, There's been a couple of minor changes since the materials were reviewed internally: - addition of a show-partitions user interface word (requested by Tarl) - The canonical form for all methods is 'a' - 'z' for the first 26 partitions. (was dependent on the value used at open time in one case.) The materials directory includes: - The full SCCS file of the spec. - The 1 pager - Interface table from the 1 pager. -David --Boundary_(ID_HDUYJGJcI2Kwu14hE4V00w) Content-type: text/plain; name=gpt-1pager.txt Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-disposition: inline; filename=gpt-1pager.txt #pragma ident "@(#)large-disk-1pager.txt 1.1 08/01/30 SMI" Template Version: @(#)onepager.txt 1.35 07/11/07 SMI Copyright 2007 Sun Microsystems 1.
