Ping. checking for feedback on this patch, thanks.
> This patch fixed an off-by-one bug found for GPT. Because the ending LBA is inclusive, 
> the partition size should be ((ending_lba + 1) - starting-LBA).
>
> This is confirmed against the results from the parted tool.
> (e.g. use parted /dev/sda -s unit S print) and observe the size.
