bug#16134: Add support for atari partition tables, v4

2016-12-04 Thread John Paul Adrian Glaubitz
Hi! This is the fourth revision of my patch to add support for atari partition tables in parted. With this update, I have included atari labels in the t9021-maxima.sh test. For this, I had to move get_sector_size() to a common location so it can be used in _implemented_disk_label(). Both patches

bug#16134: [PATCH 1/2] libparted:tests: Move get_sector_size() to common.c

2016-12-04 Thread John Paul Adrian Glaubitz
Moving get_sector_size() from disk.c to common.c allows us to use it in _implemented_disk_label() to test for 512-byte sectors. This change is required to be able to enable this test for atari partition tables for which support is added in a follow-up patch. Signed-off-by: John Paul Adrian Glaubit
