I was thinking that you would model the partition with a C++ object, get/set various attributes and then commit. Perhaps like:

Partition *p = new Partition();
p->device = “/dev/sdb”;
p->size = “1GB”; or = 1073741824;
FileSystem *f = New FileSystemExt4(); or = New FileSystem(“Ext4”);
p->fileSystem = f;
…
p->mountBy = “Label”;
s->Add(p); or s <commit();

Are there methods to quiz the interface about partitions, their size, file-systems, etc.
In fact, are you not just calling a series of methods like they were procedures? Could I swap the order of some of the method calls and not change the result?
