Package: refit
Version: 0.11-1
Severity: normal
When a gpt partition is bigger than it can be represented in msdos label,
gptsync will truncate it and just issue a warning. I think truncating a
partition is _very wrong_ as it typicaly contains a filesystem and truncating
that is likely to result in data corruption!
gptsync/gptsync.c: Print(L"Warning: Partition %d extends beyond
2 TiB limit\n", i+1);
IMHO it should never do this unless user explicitly requested it, if at all.
Simply excluding the partition looks like the safest bet.
(However, if you and/or upstream still think this is alright, please at least
consider adding a flag to have those partitions excluded from sync
automaticaly)
