This could happen + when there are no gaps between two logical partitions. Some partitioning + tools can create such configurations, but FixParts can't. Such + configurations are extremely rare. I've only encountered them when + logical partitions are out of order. + +- Added code to detect infinite loops of logical partitions when reading + MBR data. When detected, the program now stops reading after the first + loop, so no duplicates appear in the partition list. + +- Fixed bug in partition overlap detection in MBR code. + - Changed GPT reading code to use the size encoded in GPT headers to determine how much of the header to use in computing a CRC, with the restriction that the size be equal to or less than the disk's sector size. This should work around problems with libefi in ZFS, which sets the - header size to 512 rather than the standard 92. A caveat: If the disk's - sector size is larger than the GPTHeader data structure size (512 bytes), - then the rest of the sector's contents are ignored and replaced with 0 - values. This could produce false positives on CRC checks on disks with - over-512-byte sector sizes if the header sector is padded with something - other than 0 values. + header size to 512 rather than the more common 92.
