  • Make the following changes to partition check code.

    * Add ->bdev to struct parsed_partitions.

    * Introduce read_part_sector() which is a simple wrapper around
    read_dev_sector() which takes struct parsed_partitions *state
    instead of @bdev.

    * For functions which used to take @state and @bdev, drop @bdev. For
    functions which used to take @bdev, replace it with @state.

    * While updating, drop superflous checks on NULL state/bdev in ldm.c.

    This cleans up the API a bit and enables better handling of IO errors
    during partition check as the generic partition check code now has
    much better visibility into what went wrong in the low level code
    paths.

  • Teach LDM about a new field encountered with Windows Vista.

    This fixes LDM for people using Vista who have disabled drive letter
    assignment from one or more volumes. Doing this introduces a so far
    unknown field in the LDM database in the VOL5 VBLK structure which
    causes the LDM driver to fail to parse the VBLK structure and hence LDM
    fails to parse the disk altogether. This patch teaches the driver about
    this field.

    Thanks got to Ashton Mills for reporting the
    problem and working with me on getting it fixed. It is now working for
    him.

  • This fixes the LDM driver so that it works with Windows Vista dynamic
    disks which are subtly different to Windows 2000/XP ones.

    The patch was needed to get a Vista formatted dynamic disk to be
    recognized and parsed successfully.

    Thanks go to Chris Teachworth for the report and testing.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
