Subject: [Design] nested partitions: Unify grub_partition and grub_disk
Date: Sat, 07 Mar 2009 15:58:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49B28BA6.3030109@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello. I was looking into nested partitions issue and propose to unify
grub_partition and grub_disk. In this case when a code calls
grub_disk_read with a grub_disk_t which represents a partition it will
correct the offset and call grub_disk_read with underlying partition or
disk. In this way not only nested partitions become natural but also
conceptually similar fields of total_sectors and len become unified. As
it's an important design change I send this e-mail before coding it
