So why is GPT partition better than MBR partition?

So why is GPT partition better than MBR partition?

MBR is limited to 2TB
Thats the only reason why GPT is better

uefi features, like directly loading into your kernel, secure boot, efivars to reboot into something else

MBR's limited to 4 partitions too

it's not. mbr masterrace checking in

>why is windows 10 better?
it's not.

>not APM

Fuck partitions. Just use LVM or btrfs with libreboot (grub in the flashrom).

No, it has 4 primary ones and a bunch of extended partitons
...whatever the fuck that means.

Doesn't Libreboot only work with Linux?

Just a real OS. I used to use btrfs and swap over LVM over LUKS. No partitions.

Yes?
LVM and btrfs are Linux technologies.

also I think I heard about someone getting OpenBSD working on a libreboot system.

>LVM and btrfs are Linux technologies
I know

you can have logical partitions on physcial partitions

>actually reccomending trannyboot

>Redundant entries with checksums
safety feature but I have had a bunch of backus of my mbr
>more than 4 partition
extended partitions, LVM, no windows
>uefi features
Mostly irrelevant, hardware CIA nigger
>2TB limit of mbr
Still use smaller drives: SSD, laptop
>conclusion
I don't like to make backups on such low level so I use GPT

It is better, but still not actually good. Has two checksummed copies now, supports more partitions, but unlike the superior lvm2 partitions still need to be one big continuous chunk. Half of what GPT specifies is pretty dumb again (hurr, the partition is readonly or should not be automatically be assigned a drive letter).

Anyone else find that having multiple partitions slow drives down when you often juggle files around partitions/drives?
I ended up just having 1 partition per drive so I use GPT.

>tfw server has 12 5TB drives

Extended partitions are essentially a linked list of partitions. Enjoy losing all of them if one bit flips.

Not very much on Linux, no.

NTFS starts to suck at maybe 85% full though, both with regards to fragmentation and performance. If you have single big partitions, you may just have more free space on those that remain.
