Avamar: VMware plugin - FLR Failed to determine the partition type

Disk /dev/sda: 70 GiB, 75161927680 bytes, 146800640 sectors

Blkid output also shows partitions sda2 and sda3 are Linux File system and Logical Volumes partitions respectively:

When the disk is partitioned using GPT label, The flr supports only 1 partition type:  LVM(s) or Linux Filesystem (s)  and does not allow for mixed types of partitions.


When the disk is partitioned using msdos labels,  the FLR code will ignore any partition with boot flag and will mount the VM with mixed partitions types successfully.
