From b95f958d7d06b3cd117647b29b288cf168aa2ee9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerlando Falauto Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:13:57 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] cmd_sf: let "sf update" preserve the final part of the last sector Since "sf update" erases the last block as a whole, but only rewrites the meaningful initial part of it, the rest would be left erased, potentially erasing meaningful information. So, as a safety measure, have it rewrite the original content.
