BTW: what we should do is when the partition parser at the block layer see that the partition capacity as written in the partition-table is bigger then the capacity reported for the device we can put a fat message at dmesg with both sizes and user can decide. And/or add an extra field at block attributes for part_capacity. It is info that is known and parsed for today. > Alan Stern Thanks Boaz -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
