[parted-devel] gpt_probe(): possible bug.

[rahul dev]

Guys,

  gpt_probe() function doesn't check for GPT_HEADER_SIGNATURE in the backup copy of partition table if the gpt signature is not found in the primary table.

if (ped_device_read(dev, pth_raw, 1, GPT_HEADER_SECTORS)
|| ped_device_read(dev, pth_raw, dev->length - 1, GPT_HEADER_SECTORS)) {
       gpt = pth_new_from_raw (dev, pth_raw);
       if (gpt->Signature == PED_CPU_TO_LE64(GPT_HEADER_SIGNATURE))
               gpt_sig_found = 1;
}

If the signature is not found in the primary header, it doesn't check for it in the secondary header.

Is this a bug ?

Shouldn't we check for the gpt signature in the backup header in case it is not foung in the primary header?

thanks,
rahul
