Hey Soeren, I actually started rewriting this library from the ground up. If you're interested (and especially if you have use cases), I'd love to talk more!

Hey Galileo, Yeah I'd be interested. As you might have guessed, Chris gave me the right to this repo and i started to refactor some bits. But I'm open for bigger changes. I'm currently using this library in Production, in a sort of embedded linux setup with buildroot.

Use 1: Installation For installing the os to a new disk, i create the partitions via this crate.

Use 2: Update To figure out where the partitions are to override the fs with an update.
