Is there a good library that we could use? libparted might be a possibility, but it seems rather over-weight. /lib/libparted-1.9.so.12.0.0 is larger than /sbin/mdadm !!! Are there any other libraries for reading different partition tables? I guess we can open-code it if we have to but I'd be happy if another solution could be found.i don't think so, but there are two tools partx from util-linux kpartix from multipath-tools (which is based on the former) so we could either grab code from those or just invoke partx -l (i believe every distro installs util-linux by default) L.
Fyi , It seems Slackware does not install util-linux , It uses util-linux-ng which does not have partx . (afaik) util-linux was reported as not be being maintained . But that is hearsay .
