So... um... how are things run around here? Further discussion needed? Do you need a patch? Do we need to invoke The Cabal? ;) As outlined in my Debian Bug report I'd be more than happy if we could get this in Lenny (or at least bpo, if Lenny shouldn't be feasible), since I already maintain a few servers were this ought to be a real problem (tm). >From what I've seen so far we'd need to read the old bootcode in _write_pmbr in libparted/labels/gpt.c and stuff that into the pmbr we're going to write, shouldn't be too complicated. My C is beyond rusty but I think I could come up with something if necessary. best regards, Michael _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
