The cause was found and a fix is being tested meanwhile. Steve McIntyre wrote: > The Gap1 partition doesn't seem to cause any problems on the one > device I've got handy for testing, anyway. In any case it looks clueless. (The stupid gap filler wanted to cover the backup GPT by a partition, whereas the less stupid partition writer truncated it to the permissible range.)

I'd added -partition_cyl_align > already as you said. -partition_offset expects a block number as argument. "all" is read as 0. Without -partition_offset 16, the first GPT partition is supposed to be not mountable. So some riddling remains on my side ... i wrote: > > It has to be tested whether > > -partition_hd_cyl 64 -partition_sec_hd 32 > > keeps up the alignment for images larger than 1 GiB (1024 > > cylinders). Currently libisofs enlarges the cylinder size if the number of cylinders exceeds 1024. But i am testing a change now, which allows an unlimited number of "cylinders" for GPT. So -partition_hd_cyl 64 -partition_sec_hd 32 -partition_cyl_align all will ensure alignment to 1 MiB, if desired. > I'll be honest, there's no rush for this for me. This will leave more time for my tests. My best wishes for Jessie's scheduled birth and all her proud parents.
