Subject: [PATCH 109/131] libparted: don't create partition on loop label
|
|
|
|
The loop label represents an unpartitioned disk, but creates
|
|
a dummy partition to represent the whole disk. This dummy partition
|
|
was actually being loaded into the kernel. Don't do that.

libparted: fix loop labels to not vanish if you don't create
|
|
a filesystem, and to not return an error syncing when you do.
