2007-07-30	[PARTITION]: Sun/Solaris VTOC table corrections	Mark Fortescue	1	-17/+45
	Start doing VTOC validation before using its contents. The validation is adjusted so as not to break existing setups that do not set the VTOC version, sanity and partition count entries. VTOC tables with more than 8 partitions will NOT be used. Signed-off-by: Mark Fortescue <mark@mtfhpc.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-02-10	[PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute.	Fabio Massimo Di Nitto	1	-1/+4
	Some partitioning systems create special partitions that span the entire disk. One example are Sun partitions, and this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block and do other things. Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions, because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one. So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which we do not want. udev and friends can thus search for this 'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the partition.

2006-08-26	[DISKLABEL] SUN: Fix signed int usage for sector count	Jeff Mahoney	1	-1/+1
	The current sun disklabel code uses a signed int for the sector count. When partitions larger than 1 TB are used, the cast to a sector_t causes the partition sizes to be invalid: # cat /proc/paritions \| grep sdan 66 112 2146435072 sdan 66 115 9223372036853660736 sdan3 66 120 9223372036853660736 sdan8 This patch switches the sector count to an unsigned int to fix this.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+91
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
