geom bsd strangeness in extended partition

Mon Dec 29 15:02:10 PST 2003

GEOM issues warnings during scanning bsdlabels in extended partition:

Slices 5, 12 and 13 are marked 0xa5 (FreeBSD).
This is quite strange why 9269505 is expected in all cases.
9269505 is absolute start of extended partition on this drive:

(earlier in dmesg.boot)
GEOM: new disk ad0

There is no problem in interaction of main partitions of 4.9 (resides in
/dev/ad0s3) and 5.2 (resides in /dev/ad0s4). But, attempt to see virgin
4.9 label in ad0s12 (created with `disklabel -r -w ad0s12 auto') fails in 5.2.
OTOH, virgin 5.2 disklabel is read by 5.2 without problems,
but 4.9 swears:

[...skip common data...]

Simple disklabel content dump shows that offset 9269505 is really written
in raw disklabel. E.g. hexdump:

(I underlined p_offset for `a' and `c')

System: 5.2-BETA-20031124; but I didn't seen later commits which can
fix it.

Please ask if additional info is needed to fix.
