# Find out what the actual USB disk partition table type is
# of the USB disk that is the parent device of the USB data partition
# that is the value of the USB_DEVICE variable.
# For example
#   BACKUP_URL=usb:///dev/disk/by-label/REAR-000
# leads to
#   USB_DEVICE=/dev/disk/by-label/REAR-000
# which is a symbolic link e.g. to /dev/sdb3 (on a hybrid UEFI and BIOS dual boot USB disk)
# so its parent device /dev/sdb is where we need to inspect the partition table type.
# See the code of the write_protection_ids() function in lib/write-protect-functions.sh
# how to get the parent device.
# See the output of
#   # find usr/sbin/rear usr/share/rear -type f | xargs grep 'Partition Table'
# for code how to autodetect the partition table type via 'parted ... print'.
# In summary it goes like this example:
#   # USB_DEVICE=/dev/disk/by-label/REAR-000
#   # usb_disk="$( lsblk -inpo PKNAME "$USB_DEVICE" 2>/dev/null | awk NF | head -n1 )"
#   # echo $usb_disk
#   /dev/sdb
#   # usb_disk_label=$( parted -s $usb_disk print | grep -E "Partition Table|Disk label" | cut -d ":" -f "2" | tr -d " " )
#   # echo $usb_disk_label
#   gpt
# see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2829/files#r906006257
