Applied storage and manager patches, thanks!

For widget toolkit I'm wondering about backward compatibility towards older
API daemons still running and other products - you mentioned PBS so I guess

Also, the Type column for partitions shouldn't be "unknown" but rather
"partition", or even "GPT Partition"/"MBR Partition" or the like.
