When writing an individual entry to disk, the offset of the entry was omitted, which resulted in entries not block-aligned to overwrite previously valid entries. This in turn resulted in the stored entries CRC no longer matching what was on disk, causing the partitioning system to fail to identify it as a valid GPT when read from disk later (e.g. after a reboot). E.g. if the first entry is the ESP (which it typically is), and then the second being an entry for a BFS partition, updating the BFS partition entry would overwrite the entry for the ESP, thus corrupting the entries table. |

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
Contributing code
If you're submitting a patch to us, please make sure you're following the patch submitting guidelines.
If you're having trouble finding something in the source tree, you can use one of our OpenGrok servers:

Contributing documentation
The main piece of documentation that still needs work are the API docs (found
in the tree at docs/user). Just find an undocumented class, write
documentation for it, and submit a patch.
