| |
I meet a 3T disk, which partitioned by Windows 7, and linux report unknow partition table. But it can been detected the partition table when I add gpt to boot parameter.
This issue caused by the find_valid_gpt function will fail out when check the legacy mbr failed if there is no gpt boot parameter.
if boot without gpt, we should fail back to check the guid partition table when check the legacy mbr failed instead of fail out.
