But then I really don't know what we can do else then my already sent patch. As long as we want to have `grub-probe -t drive' to show the right partition even with BSD ones, we have to map the linux numbers to grub partitions. I still think I don't need to bother to write to LKML to fix HDIO_GETGEO for device-mapper. It's a low level interface, which is also used for LVM where HDIO_GETGEO just doestn't make any sense. So I think UUIDs are the only other choice to map linux partition numberts to GRUB partitions. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer
