Subject: [PATCH 4/4] partx: don't treat empty partition table as error
Date: Mon,  5 Dec 2011 15:02:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1323115372-3983-4-git-send-email-psusi@cfl.rr.com> (raw)

If a partition table was detected, but it had no partitions
in it, a poorly worded error message was printed and further
action halted.  For partx -a, this gave an unnecessary error
and for partx -u, prevented update from removing all partitions.
