[parted-devel] nested extended dos partitions

 Hi,

 I'm looking for a way how to test fdisk and [k]partx code that read
 nested extended partitions (ext.partition in ext.partition). It seems
 that parted and fdisk are not able to create such odd PT layout. Any
 idea?

 I'd like to confirm that the offset of all nested extended partitions is
 always the same as offset for the first extended partition. (See
 read_table() in libparted/labels/dos.c.)
