[parted-devel] [PATCH v2 0/1] keep GUID specific attributes

[Arvin Schnell]

When modifying a GPT parted clears all GUID specific
attributes. This happens even when modifying unrelated
partitions, e.g. adding a new partition. According to the UEFI
standard these bits must be preserved (see Table 24 of the UEFI
spec[1]) even when only modifying the other attributes.

The attached patch solves the problem by having the full
attributes instead of the two flags hidden and legacy_boot in
GPTPartitionData and modifying the full attributes directly.

Thanks,
  Arvin
