Pull Request Details:¶

• Type: Enhancement

• Impact: Low

• Reference to related issue (URL): https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2087

• How was this pull request tested? Manually on PC with eMMC disk device (Z83-F).

• Brief description of the changes in this pull request: sysfs for (some?) eMMC disks recognises partitions, which are actually no usual partitions, but special areas on the eMMC. When trying to get the partition layout for such disks, ReaR exits with an error. This pull request contains enhancements to silently ignore these special partitions, so that ReaR no longer fails.

@fabz5
thank you for your valuable contribution to ReaR
that improves ReaR in a specific area for specific hardware
where not "just anybody" could "just do" such improvements.
