to make myself a better mailing list citizen, I created a new topic
for this different issue ;)
I have INITDISK.C that will detect and
mount GPT partitions if available.
FAT partitions on GPT disks are fully 'normal' drives.
to be discussed, and I have no strong opinion here:
shall FreeDOS kernel detect and mount
a) all partitions on GPT disks, or
b) mount only partitions on GPT disks, that are 'basic data
partitions'
c) make this behaviour patchable using SYS CONFIG GPT_MOUNT_ALL=1
the current implementation only allows partitions that fir entirely
below 2TB, but it's no big deal to allow >2TB. max. partitionsize
remains at 2TB though as this is a filesystem limitation.
additionally: as the patch is almost trivial, this could also be
installed (and uninstalled) similar to a RAM disk, i.e. by an external device
or TSR
and be even used in MSDOS/DRDOS.
