Subject: [PATCH] libparted: handle logical partitions starting immediately
|
|
after the EBR
|
|
|
|
_blkpg_add_partition() set the length of the extended partition
|
|
to 2 sectors to allow LILO to be installed there, beacuse the
|
|
linux kernel does this. If a logical partition used that second
|
|
sector, adding it would fail beacuse of the overlap. Now
|
|
_blkpg_add_partition() will limit the length to only the first
|
|
sector if the second is used by a logical partition.
|
|
|
|
Previously parted did create the partition table, and after a
|
|
reboot, the kernel would recognize the table, and happily create
|
|
the extended partition as 2 sectors long, thus overlapping the
|
|
logical partition, but when parted tried to recreate the same
|
|
table with BLKPG, the kernel rightly rejected it.

** Bug Fixes
|
|
|
|
+ libparted: handle logical partitions starting immediately after
|
|
+ the EBR. Creating a logical partition one sector after the EBR
|
|
+ used to cause parted to complain that it could not inform the
|
|
+ kernel of the changes, but after a reboot, everything was fine.
|
|
+ Parted will now correctly inform the kernel of the changes, but
|
|
+ only set the length of the extended partition to 1 sector instead
|
|
+ of two, which would cause it to overlap the logical partition.
|
|
+
|
|
parted: fix EOF and ctrl-c handling. parted used to refuse to exit
|
|
in response to ctrl-c and would get stuck in an infinite loop
|
|
prompting for more input when it reached EOF on stdin.
