30 * Abstract interface to access arbitrary disk partitioning schemes and

32 * details.
33 *
34 * NOTE:
35 * - all sector numbers, alignment and sizes are in units of the
36 * disks physical sector size (not necessarily 512 bytes)!
37 * - some interfaces pass the disks sector size (when it is easily
38 * available at typical callers), but the backends can always
39 * assume it to be equal to the real physical sector size. If
40 * no value is passed, the backend can query the disk data
41 * via get_disk_geom().
42 * - single exception: disk_partitioning_scheme::size_limit is in 512
43 * byte sectors (as it is not associated with a concrete disk)
