找不到MBR类型

Question

我有这段代码，它是项目源代码的一部分。下面的代码查找MBR类型: GRUB或LILO，并相应地设置一个标志。

令人惊讶的是，在SLES10-SP1 (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server)中，它无法确定。/dev/sda1是我的交换。/dev/sda2是包括/在内的整个MBR的位置。

同样的代码也适用于SLES11和其他应用程序。这里的MBR_SIZE是#defined to 0x1be。

int lnxfsGetBootType(int pNumber)
{
    int                 i, retval = -1, ccode;
    PartInfo            *p = &cpuParts[pNumber];
    char                buffer[SECTOR_SIZE];
    var64               offset = 0;

    isdLogFileOut(ZISD_LOG_DEVELOPER,"[lnxGBT]\n");
    if (getenv("ZENDEVICE") || gUtilPart == 1) {
        offset = p->pOffset;        // look at the partition BPB
    }

    //Now try to find the installed boot loader...
    lseek64(p->handle, (var64)offset, SEEK_SET);    // either MBR or BPB
    ccode = read(p->handle, buffer, SECTOR_SIZE);

    for (i=0; i<MBR_SIZE-4;i++) {
        if (strncmp(&buffer[i], "LILO", 4) == 0) {
            if (offset == 0){
                retval = FLAG_LNXFS_LILO;
                isdLogFileOut(ZISD_LOG_WARNING,"\tLILO MBR found on %s\n",p->header.deviceName);
            } else {
                retval = FLAG_LNXFS_LILO; // 10.31.06 _BPB;
                isdLogFileOut(ZISD_LOG_WARNING,"\tLILO BPB found on %s\n",p->header.deviceName);
            }
        }
        if (strncmp(&buffer[i], "GRUB", 4) == 0) {
            if (offset == 0){
                retval = FLAG_LNXFS_GRUB;
                isdLogFileOut(ZISD_LOG_WARNING,"\tGRUB MBR found on %s\n",p->header.deviceName);
            } else {
                retval = FLAG_LNXFS_GRUB; // 10.31.06 _BPB;
                isdLogFileOut(ZISD_LOG_WARNING,"\tGRUB BPB found on %s\n",p->header.deviceName);
            }
        }
    }
    if (retval == -1)  {
        isdLogFileOut(ZISD_LOG_WARNING,"\tLILO or GRUB mbr/bpb not found on %s\n",p->header.deviceName);
    }

    return retval;
}  // lnxfsGetBootType  

Here partinfo, is a struct of partition type:
//Data structure used internally by the image engine to store information about the 
//partitions.  It encapsulates the PartHeader struct, whcih is used to store partition
//information in image archives
typedef struct _PartInfo
{
    PartHeader  header;
    int         handle;         //file handle for reading/writing physical device
    var32       flags;          //Various flags as needed.  Defined above.
    var64       pOffset;        //offset to partition from start of physical device
    int         deviceNumber;   //index into 'devices' where this partition's 
                                // physical device is located
    int         archIndex;      //for restoring only.  Index into imgParts of the
                                // archive partition this physical partition is
                                // mapped to
    int         bytesWritten;   //track number of sectors written so the device-level
                                // cache can be flushed
    void        *info;          //partition-type-specific info struct

测试是在VMWare下使用不同的虚拟磁盘映像进行的。我已经确认磁盘是用MBR而不是GPT格式化的。

我不知道你说它不起作用是什么意思。如果你的观点是你的代码返回-1，你能给我们看一份MBR的副本吗？您可以使用以下命令来捕获它：

sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | xxd

你提到你的MBR在/dev/sda2上。这确实是非常不寻常的。如果你的意思是那是安装引导代码的地方，那是完全不同的事情。MBR始终保存在磁盘的第一个扇区上(假设它是DOS格式的MBR)。

我认为一些失败案例中的问题可能是查找失败或短读。我做了一些调整，增加了错误处理，并简化了一些。
