I think the ICH10 tag is actually a serial or some such; its at an odd spot there. What do you think of treating GAFR as a magic bytes, then using the sector offset following that? As long as the final location is checked for still being > 0 we won't try to read negative offsets, and the followup is_isw call will fail on non-isw environments. It seems pretty safe to me to assume that: find GAFR follow a word sector offset find a 10 byte isw signature is only going to occur when someone actually has a ICH environment. re testing: I don't have any disks I can wipe I'm sorry. -Rob -- intel isw raid metadata at odd offset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
