[parted-devel] [PATCH][RFC] Print maximum size of GPT

[Anna Maresova]

Hi all,

I encountered with mkpart failure due to maximum size of GPT reached. To be
able to deal with this issue, I would need parted capable of printing the
maximum number of primary partitions.

This patch would do the job for me, but I am not sure if it would not break
something else I am not aware of. Could you please comment on it?

Thanks,
Anna
