GPT disk-labels (partition tables) are a new type of disk-labels that don't have the limitations of the ms-dos partition table. The ms-dos partition table is what almost everybody uses right now. The most notable of the ms-dos partition table limitations is the 2 TB limit for a partition. We are not that far away from this kind of capacity on the desktop. To properly handle GPT disk labels, we need a tool that can write them (parted) and a boot manager that understands them (grub2). Luckily, the filesystem limits are a little farther. Can this be considered for inclusion in 10.3? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
