Subject: [PATCH v3] wic: ensure generated disk system identifier is non-zero
Date: Sat, 29 Jul 2017 00:45:27 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170728144527.24322-1-net147@gmail.com> (raw)

Zero may be interpreted as no MBR signature present and another
partitioning program might install a new MBR signature.
