🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool ldm_validate_privheads (struct parsed_partitions *state , struct
       privhead *ph1 );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • state — partition check state including the device holding the LDM Database 💾
  • ph1 — memory struct to fill with ph contents, cute and simple 🧚

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So the page says: read and compare all three privheads from disk. All three. Not two. Not one. Three. periodt. 🔥

The privheads on disk show the size and location of the main disk area and the configuration area — aka the database. The values are range-checked against hd, which contains the real size of the disk. no cap, that's the whole description, and it ate. 💖
