[Bug 61728] Re: [disks-admin] need to be rewritten with the new API and using hal

[Frederik Elwert]

There is at lease one more important usecase for disks-admin: When using
the Desktop-CD as a rescue system, disks have manually to be mounted if
you want to work with them from the live system.

Besides that, disks-admin had an informational value: It gave on
overview about a disks partitions, their size and free space.

I don't know about its technical background, but could pysdm serve as a
basis for a successor? It is currently in universe, but Ubuntu certainly
needs something in main that gets installed by default.
