Subject: [PARTITION] MSDOS: Fix Sun num_partitions handling.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc2~155^2~10
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b84d879639f83d35d3fcd909222522c928bf974b;p=linux-2.6

[PARTITION] MSDOS: Fix Sun num_partitions handling.

Correct the Solaris x86 number of partitions (slices) is a way that is
backward compatible with the earlier size.

This works without a new VTOC structure definition as the timestamp
and v_asciilabel fields in the VTOC are not used by the kernel yet.
