Package: gptsync Version: 0.13-3 Severity: important
I have an EFI system (a MacBook Pro 3,1) and boot Linux via grub-pc on it. For this purpose, I have created an EFI "BIOS Boot Partition" (GUID 21686148-6449-6E6F-744E-656564454649). gptsync does not recognize this GUID and fails to sync. Complete output as follows: mbp:~# gptsync /dev/sda Current GPT partition table: # Start LBA End LBA Type 1 40 409639 EFI System (FAT) 2 409640 126238759 Mac OS X HFS+ 3 126238760 126240807 Unknown 4 126240808 976773134 Basic Data Current MBR partition table: # A Start LBA End LBA Type 1 1 976773134 ee EFI Protective Status: GPT partition of type 'Unknown' found, will not touch this disk. mbp:~# Partition 3 is the BIOS Boot Partition grub-pc needs to install grub into, Partition 4 is a LUKS volume containing an LVM PV with all linux data. Kernel and initramfs I have put into partition 1. My current workaround is to declare partition 3 a "Basic Data" partition with parted (unset bios_grub flag), gptsync, save MBR with dd, re-declare partition 3 a BIOS Boot Partition (thereby resetting the gptsync-ed partition table), restore MBR, grub-install. Would be better if gptsync just translated the BIOS Boot Partition to a type 0xda partition. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (999, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (900, 'unstable'), (90, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30.5 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gptsync depends on: ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries gptsync recommends no packages. gptsync suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
