[pve-devel] [PATCH storage 03/10] diskmanage: add change_parttype helper

[Fabian Ebner]

Only supports GPT-partitioned disks as I didn't see an option for
sgdisk to make it also work with MBR-partitioned disks. And while
sfdisk could be used instead (or additionally) it would be a new
dependency, and AFAICS require some conversion of partition type GUIDs
to MBR types on our part.
