When did any Grub version or Linux installer start handling 0x0A or HPFS 0x07 partitions correctly?
Not before someone explains what "correctly" means.
It's been a very long time since I considered such issues.
And why did you need to bring it up NOW?
From what little I remember, correctly would include, but not necessarily be limited to: 1-0x0A: It contains no "filesystem" usable by any FOSS, Mac or Windows tools. Do not proceed based upon the fact that what it does contain can be mistaken for a supported FAT filesystem. If it exists, and has a boot flag on it set, and the MBR code jumps to the primary with the active flag is set, it is a primary bootloader. Chainloading it from Grub Legacy breaks its primary functionality.
We were speaking about grub2. Why did you need to bring the issue with grub legacy up NOW?
2-0x07: It isn't NTFS. Don't proceed based upon an assumption that it is. It should never find its way into any fstab as a type ntfs. Tools intended for use with NTFS filesystems will corrupt it.
What has it to do with GRUB? Where does grub assume 0x07 partition to be NTFS? Why did you need to bring it up NOW?
If you want more detail
No, I do not need more detail about grub legacy, thank you very much. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
