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 Jorge Almeida
