[Patch 1/1] partitions/msdos: FreeBSD UFS2 file systems are not recognized

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

 



This patch was applied to 4.12-rc3 as commit ID:

23220356d5ebc05ead9a8d697abb0c0a906fc81

Please apply this to 4.4 and newer kernels.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The code in block/partitions/msdos.c recognizes FreeBSD, OpenBSD
and NetBSD partitions and does a reasonable job picking out OpenBSD
and NetBSD UFS subpartitions.

But for FreeBSD the subpartitions are always "bad".

    Kernel: <bsd:bad subpartition - ignored

Though all 3 of these BSD systems use UFS as a file system, only
FreeBSD uses relative start addresses in the subpartition
declarations.

The following patch fixes this for FreeBSD partitions and leaves
the code for OpenBSD and NetBSD intact:
