    [PATCH] Fix check_partition routines · 57881dd9
    Suzuki K P authored
    check_partition() stops its probe once it hits an I/O error from the
    partition checkers.  This would prevent the actual partition checker
    getting a chance to verify the partition.
    
    So this patch lets check_partition() continue probing untill it hits a
    success while recording the I/O error which might have been reported by the
    checking routines.
    
    Also, it does some cleanup of the partition methods for ibm, atari and
    amiga to return -1 upon hitting an I/O error.
