Subject: [PATCH] libparted: Check AlternateLBA against LBA-1
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 20:05:14 -0400

t0210-gpt-resized-partition-entry-array failed because gpt-header-munge
did not relocate the LastUsableLBA to agree with the smaller table size.
This caused parted to complain that the backup was not at the end of the
disk ( as indicated by LastUsableLBA ), when in fact, it was.  Accept
the current AlternateLBA if it is *either* in the right place relative
to LastUsableLBA, or the last sector of the disk.
