feature request

Insane of web-style JSON format, please use a parseable one. I would be interested in the reasons why you use such a notation for a CLI tool.

example

rapiddisk -a 20000 -j

current

{
    "status": "Success",
    "message": "Attached device rd0 of size 20000 Mbytes."
}

expected

{
    "status": "success",
    "attached device": "rd0",
    "size": 20000000
}

And maybe also expose the device's location in dev-mapper...

/dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-rc-wt_XXXXX
/dev/dm-XXXXX
