Partitioning your HD using gdisk for a Linux system Understanding key gdisk commands such as m to bring you back to the main menu, d, n, p and t, amongst others, will in the main, become core commands regarding your gdisk partitioning requirements, and it is worthwhile to explore gdisk on a 'test' disk.

However 'Gparted - gparted' along with 'KDE Partition Manager - partitionmanager', (amongst others), are great tools to give you a visual depiction of what you actioned in gdisk. The core features of this platform include you can download the ISO file. Having stated that, gdisk should be your preferred tool to help prevent unintentional GUI anomalies. GUI partitioning tools to use GPTĪside from the terminal based gdisk, GUI tools like 'gparted' and 'partitionmanager' do provide a GUI interface supporting GPT disks. GPT fdisk is a disk partitioning tool loosely modeled on Linux fdisk, but used for modifying GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks. Booting GPT disksĭual and triple booting GPT disks with Linux, BSD and Apple are supported using EFI mode in 64 bit.ĭual booting GPT disks with both Linux and MS Windows is possible, provided that your MS Windows OS can boot GPT disks in UEFI mode in 64 bit.

GPT data disks are applicable for 32 and 64 bit machines under Linux. Some operating systems can not support GPT data disks, please refer to the respective operating system documentation.

The terms UEFI and EFI are interchangeable and mean the same concept. However, using GPT on small USB/SSD sticks, (for example an 8GB stick), could be counter productive if you need to transfer data from one computer to another, or, from one OS to another OS. Note though that the gdisk tool defaults 128 partitions. GPT can support almost an unlimited number of partitions and is only limited by the amount of space reserved for partition entries in the GPT disk. The crucial advantage of GPT is that GPT alleviates the need to rely on primary, extended or logical partitions that are inherent to MBR for partitioning.

By default, gdisk will make sure your partitions are well aligned for SSDs, (or hard drives that do not actually have 512 byte sectors). GPT gdisk, Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) Partition Table (GPT), is a tool to partition hard drives of any size and required for disks that are greater than 2 TB in size.
