Changing the hybrid boot partition would change the MBR to match. From a UI perspective this could very easily be done by setting or removing a "hybrid" flag on a partition. One could potentially allow more than one hybrid partition, but when one then accounts for PMBR partitions, there is no guarantee that one can fit more than one unless the layout is suitable. In the worst case, one can always fit one: MBR: 1. Leading PMBR partition 2. Hybrid boot partition 3. Tailing PMBR partition In the best case, one can fit 3: MBR: 1. Hybrid partition 1 2. Hybrid partition 2 3. Hybrid partition 3 4. Tailing PMBR partition -hpa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
