Aihe: Re: [Tails-dev] Detecting hidden partitions?
This is for https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11137, trying to any
partitions that are listed in the partition table.

I used a hidden FAT32 partition for testing:
1g.img2         206848  227327   20480   10M 1b Hidden W95 FAT32


my other thought was checking the Partition ID, unless someone knows a
better way.
