Fat tool: add an MBR, partition table? #32

Closed djs55 closed 3 years ago

djs55 commented 10 years ago

If we routinely add an MBR, partition table then

  1. Our images will look more normal
  2. We can use the MBR disk signature as a unique name in mirage Block.connect

To make Block.connect nice, we may need to add a virtual block device abstraction somewhere. Perhaps ocaml-MBR needs to implement Block?

Probably no great urgency since 6 years later we haven't done it!
