Extended_Boot_Record

An Extended Boot Record is used to define the contents of an extended partition. It has the same basic format as a Master Boot Record, although the contents will be interpreted somewhat differently.

This type is used internally by LVM, and is not directly available through the public LVM API. However, it is possible to access this data by means of the Read_Sectors and Write_Sectors functions.
