* partitions/msdos: enumerate also AIX LVM partitionsPhilippe De Muyter2013-07-091-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Graft AIX partitions enumeration into partitions/msdos.c There is already a AIX disks detection logic in msdos.c. When an AIX disk has been found, and if configured to, call the aix partitions recognizer. This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code duplication, and ensures that AIX partitions enumeration is called before plain msdos partitions enumeration.

* block/partition/msdos: detect AIX formatted disks even without 55aaPhilippe De Muyter2013-02-271-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AIX formatted disks do not always have the MSDOS 55aa signature. This happens e.g. for unbootable AIX disks. Up to now, such disks were not recognized as AIX disks, because of the missing 55aa. Fix that by inverting the two tests. Let's first check for the AIX magic strings, and only if that fails check for the MSDOS magic word.

* block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitionsStephen Warren2012-11-231-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MSDOS/MBR partition table includes a 32-bit unique ID, often referred to as the NT disk signature. When combined with a partition number within the table, this can form a unique ID similar in concept to EFI/GPT's partition UUID. Constructing and recording this value in struct partition_meta_info allows MSDOS partitions to be referred to on the kernel command-line using the following syntax: root=PARTUUID=0002dd75-01 Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
