...tion in some corner cases (such as moving disks between different machines reporting different disk sizes, or paritally botched partition tables). - com32/chain: implement handling of non-standard hybrid GPT+MBR layouts This recognizes disks with both layouts at the same time, and introduces 'prefmbr' flag to force the use of MBR layout in case GPT is present. - com32/chain: recognize exFAT This makes chain exFAT aware by adding yet another "BPB" variation with the usual stuff (partition offset - now 64bit, drive). - com32/chain: manglepe_fixchs() correction Previously fixchs...

...scussion - this simplifies overkill generalizations, so the code should be easier to follow and modify. - add relax flag Relax option tones down sanity checks which can help with broken layouts and disk sizes reported differently between machines - tolerate and handle hybrid GPT+MBR layouts, add prefmbr flag This recognizes disks with both layouts at the same time, and introduces 'prefmbr' flag to force the use of MBR layout in case GPT is present. - recognize exFAT This makes chain exFAT aware by adding yet another "BPB" variation with the usual stuff (partition offset - now...

This small set fixes few bugs, improves gpt handling (under buggy conditions) and implements strict flag with more fine grained control which should fix issues with sanity checks against disk sizes. If this set is allright I'd want to do what I mentioned in older discussion with Ady - backport missing patches from 6.x to 5.x and 4.x so all versions have up to date chain version. Michal
