question: access ext4 logical partitions #55

Open xcontra opened 2 years ago

xcontra commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I've been using the core of the library, and it seems that when a disk is opened, the MBR is read as 4 primary partitions instead of checking the 4th for the "extended" type and searching the "logical" ones inside.

Is this expected behavior? Are extended and logical partitions supported?

Notes:

If any information or clarification is needed, I can provide it.

Notes:

  • I'm using a virtual machine (VBox) with dualboot (Windows & Ubuntu)
  • I'm trying to access the ext4 partition from the Windows OS

If any information or clarification is needed, I can provide it.

Have you solved this problem? Or is there any recommended library that can use?
