Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH] part_efi: Fix partition size calculation due to inclusive ending LBA.
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 08:35:25 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4979C79D.3000305@RuggedCom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4962841D.2030401@RuggedCom.com>

Ping. checking for feedback on this patch, thanks.
> This patch fixed an off-by-one bug found for GPT. Because the ending LBA is inclusive, 
> the partition size should be ((ending_lba + 1) - starting-LBA).
>
> This is confirmed against the results from the parted tool.
> (e.g. use parted /dev/sda -s unit S print) and observe the size.
