=================== BUG #3259: LATEST MODIFICATIONS ================== http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=3259&group_id=68
Changes by: Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon 06/30/2003 at 03:19 (Europe/Andorra) ------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ---------------------------- Jeroen is right: GNU ext2fs is part of the Hurd but it's suposed to act on 0x82 partitions. On the other hand, I don't see why GRUB should fail if the partition type is incorrect, or even check the partition type at all. What really matters here is that if a sane ext2 filesystem is present, then GRUB should be able to read it no matter what the partition type is. =================== BUG #3259: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== Submitted by: None Project: GNU GRUB Submitted on: Thu 04/17/2003 at 19:13 Category: Disk & Partition Severity: Major Priority: None Bug Group: Feature Request Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Release: 0.90 & 0.93 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: Summary: Grub can't recognize GNU/HURD ext2fs logical partitions Original Submission: When trying to mount a logical GNU/HURD partition (created by mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hda7 with GNU/Linux), I have error no 17: Cannot mount selected partition. When changing partition type to Linux (0x82), I manage to boot with that logical partition. This does not happen when using a primary partition.
