Re: [PATCH 3/4] luks2: set up dummy sector size during scan

[Michael Chang]

Hi,

Enclosed herewith please find the revised patch from openSUSE that could
also fix this very same problem.

According to Fabian, the author of this patch, the reason for having
this patch is that he found some problem in the posted one. I have added
him to the CC list so that he could provide more in detail later.

Thanks,
Michael

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] disk/cryptodisk: When cheatmounting, use the sector info
 of the cheat device

When using grub-probe with cryptodisk, the mapped block device from the host
is used directly instead of decrypting the source device in GRUB code.
In that case, the sector size and count of the host device needs to be used.
This is especially important when using luks2, which does not assign
total_sectors and log_sector_size when scanning, but only later when the
segments in the JSON area are evaluated. With an unset log_sector_size,
grub_open_device complains.

This fixes grub-probe failing with
"error: sector sizes of 1 bytes aren't supported yet."
