Hi There, We are in the process of fixing our GPT handling to be spec-compliant, so things should improve in the future. That said, parted does not honor the # of partition field, which is the source of the problem (well, the source of the problem is that # of partition should be at least 128, but Linux can apparently deal with this better).
