The number of Partition Entries about gpt HOT 8 CLOSED

num_parts by the UEFI model should be a minimum of 128. It's the total number of entries in the partition table, not the number of used partitions. I've kept it at 128 to maintain compatibility.

Yes, the default is 128, but in embedded systems, I sometimes need to change it, so I was curious how to do this. If modification isn't allowed intentionally, I will look for another solution.
Thanks for the reply.

I didn't build it in because of compatibility, but if there is a use case I could add an additional fn to create a new header with a variable for num_parts.

from gpt.

It would be very helpful, thanks.

@gradzik Could you clone into the enable_embedded branch and test it against your use case? I've added a new fn update_partitions_embedded that takes a u32 for the number of partitions.

from gpt.

The new function works fine when creating a new partition table, but when resizing the existing partition table first_usable_sector and last_usable_sector don't change. I think it should be updated.

@gradzik I don't have as much time to dedicate to this project as I used to. If you would want to submit a PR to add this functionality, I'll approve it and update the crate.

Nice work @gradzik! Addressed in PR #68 and merged. This issue should probably be closed.
