Description Karel Zak 2010-03-03 13:06:51 UTC

Description of problem:

Unfortunately, Linux kernel uses "signed int" for alignment_offset and
the offset could be -1 for devices with undefined alignment (if no
compatible sizes and alignments exist for stacked devices).

The libblkid library does not support this "feature". This problem should be fixed. Upstream patch:
