#6487: [intel] overlapping partitions cannot be detected ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: rainbow-demon | Owner: marcusoverhagen Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Disk | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: intel, overlapping Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by rainbow-demon): Replying to [comment:3 stippi]: > What should happen if you have a partition that completely lies within another partition? File system header check. If disk partitions look like [ sda1 [ sda2 ] ] (very unlikely), and sda1's file system is bigger than `len(sda1)-len(sda2)` -- it is definitely a serious error and those partitions cannot be mounted. If not (file systems have no common sectors), there should be an error message. We can mount them -- but without pleasure. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6487#comment:5> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
