The reason is that with efi bootloader the partitions with that GUID in the GPT 
table are 
automatically mounted by systemd-gpt-auto-generator.

[gentoo-user] GPT partitions

[Jorge Almeida]

I'm partitioning a HD with gdisk. I usually chose the default
partition type (8300 Linux filesystem), except for swap. I just
noticed that there are 2 other types of partition that appear
relevant: 8302 Linux /home and 8304 Linux x86-64 root (together with
8303 Linux x86 root).

The names are suggestive enough, but I have no clue about what does it
mean to use 8304 instead of just plain 8300 for /.

Any insight?

TIA
