Why not GPT? All partitions will be primaries and you avoid part of the problem. Works fine (on Linux) even on old computers. Do we still have primary and extended partitions with UEFI??? We can have. It is a limitation of the Windows bootloader that you have to use GPT on the boot disk when booting in UEFI mode. And that booting in legacy BIOS (CSM) mode requires a MBR partition schema. Booting Linux doesn't have these restrictions. And on non bootable disks you can use MBR unless you hit the 2 TiB limit ( even with Windows)
In my computers, I have the choice of legacy or UEFI booting. If I go legacy, I know I will need an extended partition, if I want more than 4 partitions. Does that not disappear with UEFI? Are you saying the boot loader in any recent version of Windows will still require that? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
