Public bug reported: Binary package hint: devicekit-disks
/lib/udev/rules.d/95-devkit-disks.rules contains rules to hide system recovery partitions and such: here's an excerpt: # special MBR partition types (EFI, hidden, etc.) # see http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html ENV{DKD_PARTITION_SCHEME}=="mbr", \ ENV{DKD_PARTITION_TYPE}=="0x00|0x11|0x14|0x16|0x17|0x1b|0x1c|0x1e|0x27|0x3d|0x84|0x8d|0x90|0x91|0x92|0x93|0x97|0x98|0x9a|0x9b|0xbb|0xc2|0xc3|0xdd|0xef", \ ENV{DKD_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1" According to the web site listed, partition type 0x12 (Compaq diagnostics) is also used by Thinkpads for the recovery partition. I can confirm this, at least on my Lenovo X200 Tablet. Adding 0x12 to the hidden partition types would hide the recovery partition by default, which I consider to be a bonus: a technically minded user can always unhide the partition if they need access to it. As I've already hidden mine with a custom rule, I don't mind either way. The main reason why my recovery partition wasn't hidden using other rules, was because it does not have a label. Thanks for the hard work guys, it really shows! ** Affects: devicekit-disks (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Partition type 0x12 could be hidden https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451304 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
