Re: [Gptfdisk-general] [PATCH] Support padding between Partition Header(LBA1) and Entries(LBA2)

[Priebe, S. <Seb...@ca...>]

Hello,

there was a mail to this list in March 2016 with a patch adding the option to change the starting LBA of the PTE (byte 72 in the GPT header):
https://sourceforge.net/p/gptfdisk/mailman/message/34955352/

Has somebody reviewed or tested that patch?

As written in the original message this option is needed for many embedded devices as many SoC vendors tends to have their constraints on where to load its bootcode which may conflict with the default starting LBA (2) of GPT fdisk.

Why has this patch not been included?

Greetings
Sebastian
