Subject: resize: Get the partition table type of the source disk earlier.
X-Git-Tag: 1.13.25~4
X-Git-Url: http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=f4b3351692c5740242414b6b84588a22094b75bb

resize: Get the partition table type of the source disk earlier.

Also we only permit MBR (DOS) and GPT partition tables.  In theory
previously we allowed other partition table types, but it is unlikely
that it would have worked in reality.
