[PATCH 1/1] partitions/msdos: Unable to mount UFS 44bsd partitions

From: Richard Narron <hidden>
Date: 2017-11-09 14:44:07
Also in: linux-fsdevel

UFS partitions from newer versions of FreeBSD 10 and 11 use relative addressing
for their subpartitions. But older versions of FreeBSD still use absolute
addressing just like OpenBSD and NetBSD.

Instead of simply testing for a FreeBSD partition, the code needs to also
test if the starting offset of the C subpartition is zero.
