LintabOS 0.3.14
Pre-releaseLintabOS 0.3.14 (pre-release)
Another real-hardware bug, found and fixed live against the same Duet 3: LinWinMod's "pick any NTFS partition by
hand" picker wasn't actually showing every NTFS partition.
What was found
WINRE_DRV, the tablet's Windows Recovery Environment partition, is genuinely NTFS-formatted - confirmed live
(fstype=ntfs) - but it carries the Windows Recovery Environment GPT type (de94bba4-...), not the Microsoft
basic data type (ebd0a0a2-...) that list_microsoft_data_partitions() matched on. The picker's whole point is
to find NTFS partitions automatic detection misses, by GPT type rather than fragile content-probing - but it was
only checking for one of the GPT types a real NTFS partition can carry, so WinRE silently never appeared in it.
Fixed: list_microsoft_data_partitions() now also matches the Windows Recovery Environment GPT type. Confirmed
live: WINRE_DRV now appears in the picker's results on the real tablet.
Also in this release
- The BCD write's power gate (
lintab.bcdbackup) no longer requires AC power to be connected - only the 40%
battery minimum remains. Being tethered to a charger just to use the tool was more friction than the marginal
protection it added once the battery threshold already covers the case that matters (a power loss mid-write).
