partition_iterate itself is no problem. I mean, even probing itself isn't, as long as we don't promise that any of it actually works. Accessing unknown partition label as "hd0,1" implies we know the label type via probing; other facilities that use probing don't necessarily imply that. For example, GRUB could do: grub> ls (hd0) Possible msdos label: 1 2 3 Possible gpt label: 1 2 etc. -- Robert Millan "Be the change you want to see in the world" -- Gandhi _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
