Subject: tests: fdisk: add regression test for missing EBR gap between logical partitions
X-Git-Tag: v2.43-devel~141^2~3^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bf3d4aeec708fae7aa30530a1bf42ee1d35366f8;p=thirdparty%2Futil-linux.git

tests: fdisk: add regression test for missing EBR gap between logical partitions

Add a DOS/MBR test case where the first logical partition starts at 6145
(extended start 2048). In the regressed behaviour fdisk allows the next
logical partition to start at prev_end+1, which would place its EBR
(start - 2048) inside the previous logical partition.

The expected behaviour is to require the next starting sector to be at least
prev_end + 2048 + 1 (e.g. 790528 in the testcase).

Closes issue #3925.
