If we only sync boot partitions we have a different disk layout with GPT than with MBR. So all assumptions on the enumeration just fail. My parted patch just tries to sync the first partitions. If there's no EFI driver partition, it adds a fake entry as entry 4 because otherwise Linux wouldn't load the partition table as GPT. So you definitely end up with at least partitions 0, 1 and 2 being sync'ed. If you're on a Mac (or have an EFI partition), you also get partition 3 synced. That's all we can sync to the MBR because it only allows for 4 entries. Hence I'm having a hard time understanding what exactly the issue here is. Maybe kpartx screws up the GPT detection? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
