[Bug 538100] Re: Linux fails to read GPT(EFI) partition table created by both GNU parted and OSX diskutil

[Colin Watson]

Indeed, I'm working on it.

On "bare GPT volumes": the EFI specification requires that all GPT disks
have a Protective MBR in the first LBA.  I think Linux is entitled to
check for this, if nothing else to avoid accidental misdetection of the
partition table format.
