An extended linux partition is the same as an extended DOS partition, except for the entry in the partition table. Looking at the code, -current does not provide this functionality either. >How-To-Repeat: Create an extended partition of type 0x85 and at least one logical partition in it. Try to access the device corresponding to such a logical partition. >Fix: A three-liner to add the functionality can be found at http://www.cc.ece.ntua.gr/~aoiko/lin-extp.patch >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
