Hi,
I created a GPT table on a file (1 MB), using parted 2.2.
Looking at the hexdump seems that the CHS-start-sector of the GPT
partition may not be correct. Those are MBR (64 byte) partitions:
Status CHS Type CHS LBA start LBA sectors
00 000100 EE FEFFFF 01000000 FF070000
00 000000 00 000000 00000000 00000000
00 000000 00 000000 00000000 00000000
00 000000 00 000000 00000000 00000000
CHS start bytes are HEAD: 00, SECTOR: 01 CYLINDER: 00.
Using the formula:
LBA = (CYL * NHEADS + HEAD) * NSECTORS + SECTOR - 1
LBA = (0 * 4 + 0) * 32 + 1 - 1
LBA = 0
But the GPT header is at LBA 1 (as the LBA start field 01000000).
This is an error or CHS values are ignored?
Many thanks!
Christian.
