We can get the new part table when we write a new partition table to a blank disk with this patch, or else we have to reset the board to get new partition table.

How are you writing the partition table? I wonder if we should rescan then? Or should we have a flag indicating when we have to scan again?
With your patch, it would not be possible to change the partition type (e.g. from FAT to EXT4), right?
Yes, we are not able to change the partition type runtime now, we have to reset after we change the partition type.
What I'm doing is a little improve for "blank disk", the old source code have to reset the board to get the partition table if the disk do not have any partition info at boot even after I write one with "gpt write" cmd.
Thanks, - Kever
