Why every security update touches partitions and boot loader
Hi everyone,
I have noticed that each time I get a system update (e.g. security update) my boot loader (Refind) gets overwritten and the partitions assigned to the protective MBR (so the ones visible by Windows in bootcamp) are replaced with the ones decided my OS X. This is very frustrating because each time I have to use gdisk to fix this. Is there any way to prevent this?
This is the GUID partition table:
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 40 409639 200.0 MiB EF00 EFI System Partition
2 409640 1952528607 930.8 GiB AF00 MAC OS X
3 1952528608 1953798143 619.9 MiB AB00 Recovery HD
4 1953798144 3897692159 926.9 GiB 0700 Basic data partition
5 3897692160 5860270079 935.8 GiB 0700 DATI
This is my protective MBR:
Number Boot Start Sector End Sector Status Code
1 1 39 primary 0xEE
2 40 409639 primary 0xEF
3 * 1953798144 3897692159 primary 0x07
4 3897692160 5860270079 primary 0x07
This is the one written by OS X after update:
Number Boot Start Sector End Sector Status Code
1 1 409639 primary 0xEE
2 409640 1952528607 primary 0xAF
3 1952528608 1953798143 primary 0xAB
4 * 1953798144 3897692159 primary 0x0C
