I like the conditional approach based on input disk type, MENDER\_PARTITION\_TYPE=$(disk\_get\_part\_value ${disk\_image} 1 SCHEME) if ["${MENDER\_PARTITION\_TYPE}" == "gpt"]; then ...

That’s basically, the reason we have our own systemd service that checks and fixes disk issues, prior to the mender/systemd growfs service
