This set of patches add some support for sector size >512. Currently it fixes extlinux, MBR for GPT and ext partitions. Other code is unaffected. This set of patches has been tested on a read Dell machine running a beta firmware.

Hi, in quite a few programs i can not browse the filesystem when opening a "listbox"; to be more clear: for example when i do in winword Open and the listbox appears, and i try to open the pull down menu winword just quits(without an error message in wine). In another program like "Camel join" it quits as soon as i go up to the level of "my computer" with a message

Hi Jeremy, The below implements the getgeo hook for Xen block devices. Extracted from the xen-unstable tree where it has been used for ages. It is useful to have because it allows things like grub2 (used by the Debian installer images) to work in a guest domain without having to sprinkle Xen specific hacks around the place.

When I submitted the qcow2 patch for blktap, suggestions came up that the qemu block drivers should be used also for blktap to eliminate the current code duplication in ioemu and blktap. The attached patch adds support for a tap:ioemu pseudo driver. Devices using this driver won''t use tapdisk (containing the code duplication) any more, but will connect to the qemu-dm of the domain. In

Hello syslinux, Merry Christmas! These patches will make extlinux work with umounted ext2/3/4 filesystem, for example: $ extlinux -i /dev/sdXN or $ extlinux -i file_block Also it can work with something like: $ extlinux /dev/sdXN --reset-adv or $ extlinux file_block --reset-adv We don't use a new option (I planed to use "-d" but it is already in use), it will check whether the

Hello, Happy New Year! These patches make syslinux/linux support ext2/3/4, and it doesn't require the root privilege, I'd like to add a separate e2fs/syslinux, if that is more appropriate, it should be easy to do that. I put these patches on github so that you can easily get them in case you'd like to test them. (The repo's name is sys_tmp, which avoids confusing others, I will

Well this is a new one.... Illumos/Openindiana let me add a device as a hot spare that evidently has a different sector alignment than all of the other drives in the array. So now I''m at the point that I /need/ a hot spare and it doesn''t look like I have it. And, worse, the other spares I have are all the same model as said hot spare. Is there anything I can do with this or

We have a production SunFireV240 that had a zfs mirror until this week. One of the drives (c1t3d0) in the mirror failed. The system was shutdown and the bad disk replaced without an export. I don''t know what happened next but by the time I got involved there was no evidence that the remaining good disk (c1t2d0) had ever been part of a ZFS mirror. Using dd on the raw device I can see data

It's needed to enumerate both UFS1/2 since they have different magic numbers and super block offsets. Besides, UFS2 can be installed in the 0-64k range like BTRFS, whereas UFS1 can't. UFS2 has no cow feature unlike BTRFS. Signed-off-by: Raphael S.Carvalho <raphael.scarv at gmail.com> --- extlinux/main.c | 79 ++++++++++--- extlinux/ufs.h | 26 ++++

Hi Kent, My guess is you are getting some new bit of info in your object files and your ranlib(1) is older and doesn't know about it. If you can send me the .o file or the output of otool(1) with the -hlv options on your object file I can take a look. Kev P.S. you can find out the version of ranlib(1) you have by running strings(1) on it and grep(1)'ing for the string

Ran into this today -- rebuilt the SVN Trunk for this morning of LLVM+CLANG. Now every time my builds try and make a library from .o files, ranlib complains about 'malformed object' files. This is with OS X 10.7.4, and the binary tools from XCode 4.4.1 ld -v @(#)PROGRAM:ld PROJECT:ld64-127.2 llvm version 3.0svn, from Apple Clang 3.0 (build 211.12) ranlib doesn't tell you what

The `lofiadm'' man page describes how to export a file as a block device and then use `mkfs -F pcfs'' to create a FAT filesystem on it. Can''t I do the same thing by first creating a zvol and then creating a FAT filesystem on it? Nothing I''ve tried seems to work. Isn''t the zvol just another block device? -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Group-

In this patch-set we deal with the following issues: 1) While a Linux guest on Hyper-V can be assigned removable media devices (DVD, floppy etc), these devices are not handled by the Hyper-V block driver. So, we cleanup all the dead code dealing with removable media devices. 2) There were multiple functions to retrieve information about the device. Since much of
