Talk is cheap - bugreports/logs or it din't happen. :P
It is based on the blivet storage management library:
https://github.com/dwlehman/bl...
Which is also used by the Anaconda Fedore/Red Hat Enterprise Linux installer:

And Open LMI:

But it might indeed use libparted to create the actual partitions.
"The need of a new partition manager stems from the fact that none of the existing GUI partitioning tools supports all modern storage technologies"
Does the backend -and kickstart, support all those "modern storage technologies"?
That's the important part. For a GUI-based installation, the ability to format -and install into, a single root partition is good enough for me.
Yes - the blivet storage management library supports alsmost any existing data storage technology you can come up with and then some more. Thats the reason why Blivet GUI came to be - the functionality is already there, it just needs to be exposed by a graphical user interface.
This is an email from Lennart Poettering to the Fedora Devel list dissing the Blivet GUI project due to implementation details:
https://lists.fedoraproject.or...
So Lennart Poettering actually really is involved, but in a rather different way than you would expect.
Actually, I remember reading an English language "how to handle a Soyuz capsule landing in your backyard" manual, IIRC it was published somewhere on nasaspaceflight . It was written in such a manner that it could be given out to local administration, should the capsule land in an unplanned area by accident.
Nevertheless, it was quite an interesting read - how to help the cosmonauts open the capsule with a special wrench mounted on the outside of the capsule, to watch out for automatically deployed boom antennas, etc.
Looks like the manual is also included in this article: http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.html?id=815
If you want to put yourself on the map, publish your own map.
