From 8e0cc811e0f8029a7225372fb0951fab102c012f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: OGAWA Hirofumi Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 13:35:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs/partition/msdos: fix unusable extended partition for > 512B sector Smaller size than a minimum blocksize can't be used, after all it's handled like 0 size. For extended partition itself, this makes sure to use bigger size than one logical sector size at least. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi Cc: Daniel Taylor Cc: "H.
