Comment 3 for bug 1531404

Prompted by a chat on #ubuntu-bugs, I'll point this out:

(1) Since an MBR has a signature at the end, 0x55AA, then what we're seeing should not be happening. It's possible in all but 1 in 65536 cases to definitively identify that there is no partition table on the disk.

(2) Even in that small chance that the signature is there "randomly" (on a random filled disk), partition entries would also show up randomly. They would not show up specifically at 181GB into the disk.

Therefore, something that we shouldn't expect is going on here.
