[parted-devel] Offset GPT partition entries - take 2

Hello,

This is a second attempt at my patch to allow creating a GPT with an 
offset between the GPT header and the partition entries.

This version uses the same gap between the alternate partition header 
and its partition entries so the gap information can be recovered in the 
event of a corrupt primary partition header (thanks to Rob Elliot for 
the idea)

Also at least one bug resulting from using the GPT header structure as 
if it was in cpu byte order has been squished.

Thanks,
Derek
