There needs to be a patch description here, so anyone looking at git 
history knows what this patch is intended to do.

Does this mean the test doesn't pass with this patch applied? That's 
wrong. All tests should pass at any git commit. Instead, add this test 
and validate the current expected data (even if it's wrong), and put a 
comment in the code and commit description describing the issue. Then, 
in the commit that fixes the bug in the code, also update the test to 
validate the new (now correct) expected data.

Or, add the new tests after the code is fixed.

Can those commands include that partion name/number/... in the text they 
assert is in the output? That way, the test will verify that the 
expected/correct partition has the expected start/size, not simply that 
/some/ partition has the expected start/size.

Do the partitions not have names in the test GPT image? I ask because of 
the empty "" in the text that's verified above. Perhaps we can modify 
the code that creates the GPT image to give the partitions names, so 
that they can be verified here.
