Hi, as Ben (and also Otavio in private) mentioned, it is not yet clear whether the (non-)handling implemented by Ben's patch is ideal in all situations. I have forwarded the patch to upstream for comment[1]. Thanks for looking into this!
Kind regards T. 1. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2008-10/msg00005.html -------- Original Message -------- Subject: libparted and hidden FAT partitions Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 21:56:50 +0200 To: bug-parted gnu.org Hi, a bug has been reported to the Debian BTS[1] about breaking hidden FAT partitions that seems relate to libparted. Ben Hutchins prepared a patch to have parted preserve hidden fat partitions[2], but it is unclear whether that behaviour is ideal in all situations, so we (Otavio asked me to forward this because he is busy enough with his other Debian work to delegate forwarding this) would appreciate if you could offer some comment on the problem and/or the proposed solution.
