Switch from dos to gpt partition table #15

Closed lueschem closed 3 years ago

lueschem commented 3 years ago

To get rid of some legacy it could make sense to switch from the dos partition table to the gpt partition table.

Things to consider:

gpt has a secondary partition table at the end of the disk.
edi-resize-rootfs and rootfs2image need to take this into account.
sfdisk needs to be replaced by sgdisk.
An old edi-resize-rootfs script might throw errors when trying to resize a gpt disk. Therefore a new image type might make sense.
