* Added linux-specific-
gpt-type. patch: Cherry pick upstream patch to
add Linux own partition type code GUID for fs partitions on GPT
disks (LP: #1333462):Parted will set PARTITION_
LINUX_DATA_ GUID as the default partition type
code on GPT disks, avoiding problems with other tools such as:
- grub: /usr/lib/os-probes/ mounted/ 20microsoft
- windows: asking to format an already linux-formatted partition - 111. By Phillip Susi
-
Fix dm-part-sync.patch to canonicalize the dm name when constructing
the partition device path (LP: #1012946) - 109. By Colin Watson
-
* Backport from upstream:
- HFS/HFS+ probe: don't let a corrupt FS evoke failed assertion
(LP: #796891). - 107. By Colin Watson
-
* At least some Intel Macs get rather upset if we revert to a protective
MBR, so try harder to avoid this and to do a better job of writing a
hybrid MBR:
- Write a type code of 0x83 for more filesystems, and 0xda for
non-filesystem partitions.
- Do not rely on filesystem probing to recognise EFI System Partitions.
- Write a protective partition starting at LBA 1 if we find an EFI
System Partition or BIOS Boot Partition in the first position, even if
it does not really begin at LBA 1 (LP: #856826).
- Ensure that protective partitions corresponding to an ESP or BBP
always have starting cylinder 0, head 0, sector 1.
- Don't revert to a protective MBR just because the first GPT partition
wasn't recognised as anything in particular.
- Add tests for hybrid MBR syncing.
