>Description:
The kernel does not handle partitions of type 0x85 (extended linux).
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
