From 5f6f38dbb0fc8518b19542b0ad0739a8a95f05a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Diego Calleja Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2012 16:04:21 +0100 Subject: partitions: enable EFI/GPT support by default The Kconfig currently enables MSDOS partitions by default because they are assumed to be essential, but it's necessary to enable "advanced partition selection" in order to get GPT support. IMO GPT partitions are becoming common enought to deserve the same treatment MSDOS partitions get. (Side note: I got bit by a disk that had MSDOS and GPT partition tables, but for some reason the MSDOS table was different from the GPT one. I was stupid enought to disable "advanced partition selection" in my .config, which disabled GPT partitioning and made my btrfs pool unbootable because it couldn't find the partitions) Signed-off-by: Diego Calleja Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- block/partitions/Kconfig | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/block/partitions/Kconfig b/block/partitions/Kconfig index cb5f0a3f1b0..75a54e1adbb 100644 --- a/block/partitions/Kconfig +++ b/block/partitions/Kconfig @@ -234,8 +234,8 @@ config KARMA_PARTITION uses a proprietary partition table. config EFI_PARTITION - bool "EFI GUID Partition support" - depends on PARTITION_ADVANCED + bool "EFI GUID Partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED + default y select CRC32 help Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
