Subject: Antw: bug#19135: Acknowledgement (mklabel gpt always creates 128 partition entries)

It turned out that UEFI spec 2.4 states the Partition Entry Array should be at least 16kB (which is nonsense, because they should better define the number of entries) which gives 128 Entries.
However why have all those flexible data structures if the number of Pertition Entries is fixed?
I still believe 128 Pertition Entries is severe overkill.
