| |
This patch addresses a problem with reading the partition table struct. The last time this was submitted it was rejected on the grounds that the driver has no business reading the partition table. I don't disagree with that, but we have legacy apps to consider. Changing the ioctl would break those apps already in customers hands.
Please consider this for inclusion.
