Re: geomman

hey there, i gave it a try today and i would like to give some feedback, first the ability to be able to manage devices that exist solely by their disk id would be nice, for example devices as such as /dev/diskid/DISK-XXXX etc, so while gpart can see and manage partitions inside those disks, geomman doesn't see partitions as such as those, there is also an segmentation fault issue whenever i try to use the check button on a swap device or disks that are known by their diskid

So I extended sade and added new features like copying/pasting partitions, labeling new partitions through glabel, and creating more file system types. If you have any questions, you can read the README.md [3].
