[parted-devel] 4K LBA workarounds for GPT

Hi!

I struggel with GPT on disks with 4K logical blocks. The header and 
parition descriptors is scattered due to LBA adressing. This render the 
GPT inaccessible/useless if the disk is connected to a controller that 
does not support 4K, and on disk images.

Is it possible create a workaround for this by specifying input and 
output LBA size and/or by autodetection (like looking for GPT at LBA 8)?
