Package: gptsync
Version: 0.13-3
Severity: important
I have an EFI system (a MacBook Pro 3,1) and boot Linux via grub-pc
on it. For this purpose, I have created an EFI "BIOS Boot Partition"
(GUID 21686148-6449-6E6F-744E-656564454649). gptsync does not recognize
this GUID and fails to sync. Complete output as follows:
mbp:~# gptsync /dev/sda
Current GPT partition table:
# Start LBA End LBA Type
1 40 409639 EFI System (FAT)
2 409640 126238759 Mac OS X HFS+
3 126238760 126240807 Unknown
4 126240808 976773134 Basic Data
Current MBR partition table:
# A Start LBA End LBA Type
1 1 976773134 ee EFI Protective
Status: GPT partition of type 'Unknown' found, will not touch this disk.
mbp:~#
Partition 3 is the BIOS Boot Partition grub-pc needs to install grub
into, Partition 4 is a LUKS volume containing an LVM PV with all linux
data. Kernel and initramfs I have put into partition 1.
My current workaround is to declare partition 3 a "Basic Data"
partition with parted (unset bios_grub flag), gptsync, save MBR with dd,
re-declare partition 3 a BIOS Boot Partition (thereby resetting the
gptsync-ed partition table), restore MBR, grub-install.
Would be better if gptsync just translated the BIOS Boot Partition to a
type 0xda partition.
