A year ago, I started working on a new storage library for low-level operations with various types of block devices -- *libblockdev*. Today, I'm happy to announce that the library reached the **1.0** milestone which means that it covers all the functionality that has been stated in the initial goals and it's going to keep the API stable.

This looks very interesting. I don't see any function to deal with plain old block devices though just LVM, MD Raid, etc. Is this correct or am I missing something?

Do you mean disk partitions? Those are not covered yet in libblockdev (are part of the plan for version 2.0), but there's libparted providing such functionality.
Sorry for such late reply, my filters put your email into a folder I check only once in a while.
