From: AKASHI Takahiro takahiro.akashi@linaro.org

Currently, a whole disk without any partitions is not associated with EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. So even if it houses some file system, there is a chance that we may not be able to access it, particularly, when accesses are to be attempted after searching that protocol against a device handle.

With this patch, EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL is installed to such a disk if part_get_info() shows there is no partition table installed on it.

Only if no partition table exists, check for a file system on disk level. Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt xypron.glpk@gmx.de --- lib/efi_loader/efi_disk.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
