Package: gdisk
Version: 0.8.8-1
Severity: wishlist
It would be useful to have a command that rewrites the partition table
with an alternate sector size.
I opened a "Seagate Expansion" 3 TB USB3 drive enclosure I'd been using,
and connected the ST3000DM001 drive directly via SATA. The GPT was no
longer recognised by the system because the apparent logical sector size
had changed from 4096 bytes to 512 bytes. I had to recreate the GPT
manually; e.g., I created a partition for sectors 2048-262143 to replace
one that used to be at 256-32767. With the other partition offsets
similarly recalculated, all the data was readable, but this was annoying
to do manually.
gdisk should be able to recognise a GPT created with the wrong sector
size, and rewrite it with the correct size. An 'advanced mode' option
could also be added to allow this to be done before the sector size is
changed.

Closing bug, we're unlikely to ever fix this in debian and an acceptable
workaround exists.
