[PATCH v5 1/5] block: Add alternative_gpt_sector() operation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add alternative_gpt_sector() block device operation which specifies
alternative location of a GPT entry. This allows us to support Android
devices which have GPT entry at a non-standard location and can't be
repartitioned easily.
