I.e. there is a paredefined GUID for that partition; if there are multiple ones, they'd get the same GUID which sounds like a recipe for desaster to me.
OK, forget that one; Arvin just told me that this is not the ID of that partition, but the type (that was a one-byte value like 0x83 for Linux, 0x82 for swap etc.).
Still that doesn't clarify if there can be multiple ones.
Not 100% sure I still remember everything correctly, IIRC Raymund told me (some 10+ years ago) that some operating systems wipe the contents of the partition completely when reinitializing bootloader - which effectively prevents any sharing. Stefan, thanks for reaching out to Raymund to get this clarified...
