All,
So I just learned about the gpt_partition element yesterday, and I was
wondering why it is introduced.
In the past, when I wanted to create a partition, I did this:
<partition name="1" action="create" part_type="191">
(hex: bf)
which means I want to create a solaris partition.
If I wanted a linux partition I would do this:
<partition name="1" action="create" part_type="131">
(hex:83)
We all have seen this in the linux world (it's all presented in hex ....)
So if you wanted to create a GPT partitions, in the linux world it is
referenced as (hex) ee, or (decimal) 238
Conclusion: why is there the gpt_partition element if you could specity
part_type="238"
like:
<partition name="1" action="create" part_type="238">
what would be the meaning of:
<gpt_partition name="1" action="create" part_type="191">
it creates a partition (ee, 238) and then a solaris partition (bf,191) ?
I am totally confused ....
