.SH NAME
ldm_partition \- Find out whether a device is a dynamic disk and handle it
.SH SYNOPSIS
"SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fB
.sp
int ldm_partition  (struct parsed_partitions * \fIpp\fB, struct block_device * \fIbdev\fB);
\fR
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.TP
\fB\fIpp\fB\fR
List of the partitions parsed so far
.TP
\fB\fIbdev\fB\fR
Device holding the LDM Database
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This determines whether the device \fIbdev\fR is a dynamic disk and if so creates
the partitions necessary in the gendisk structure pointed to by \fIhd\fR\&.
.PP
We create a dummy device 1, which contains the LDM database, and then create
each partition described by the LDM database in sequence as devices 2+. For
example, if the device is hda, we would have: hda1: LDM database, hda2, hda3,
.SH "AND SO ON"
.PP
the actual data containing partitions.
.SH "RETURN"
.PP
1 Success, \fIbdev\fR is a dynamic disk and we handled it
0 Success, \fIbdev\fR is not a dynamic disk
-1 An error occurred before enough information had been read
Or \fIbdev\fR is a dynamic disk, but it may be corrupted
