X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b0d2374d62faed034dd80e6524efb98a6341597c;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git NTFS: Some utilities modify the boot sector but do not update the checksum. Thus, relax the checking in fs/ntfs/super.c::is_boot_sector_ntfs() to only emit a warning when the checksum is incorrect rather than refusing the mount. Thanks to Bernd Casimir for pointing this problem out.
