--- Comment #1 from Emrion <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 201423 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=201423&action=edit Patch to add an automatic GPT recovery feature to gptzfsboot I eventually made a patch for gptzfsboot. It modifies /usr/src/stand/i386/zfsboot/zfsboot.c and add the automatic recovery of a GPT scheme feature but not only. It also verifies the crc of the GPT header and the crc of the partition table. I have picked the code in /usr/src/stand/libsa/gpt.c, including mine from the previous patch, and adapted it to the zfsboot.c environment. It's a pity that the gpt.c code is used in gptboot but not in gptzfsboot. I think this would require to rewrite a good part of gpt.c and gptboot.c (not forget zfsboot.c itself). Besides that, if I well understood, the code of zfsboot.c is also used for booting a MBR scheme. So there is a mix of MBR and GPT functions & instructions in the same file. Could the design be improved? Well, this is just my little understanding as I'm far to know enough in this matter. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
