There was a problem hiding this comment.
We can simply create UUID like this, nothing to officially ask? It's nice! And the partition schema looks like what what I have on my Chromebook ;-)

This PR is adding
recoveryandconfigpartition types at systemd-repart level. This PR identifies config and recovery partitions with a custom self defined partition UUID type. This allows systemd-repart to explicitly identify these partitions as such inelemental resetprocess. In that process systemd-repart matches partitions by type and order, this prevents to match the recovery or configuration partition to any unrelated pre-existing partition in the disk.In addition it also sets the root partition UUID type according to the target architecture instead of the host architecture. Root discoverable partitions are distinguished by arch.
