Reasonably close.

It's easy. Always use GPT and forget about MSDOS. Except it isn't. Some well known operating system vendors insist on using MSDOS in legacy and GPT in UEFI-enabled installations. Technically there's no reason for this. Since setup_storage may or may not be used in dual-boot setups and there may be other quirks (bug in RAID controller?) it's a bit dangerous to guess the 'correct' value. My rule of thumb is to always use GPT. But then I don't have to care about Windows installations and my hardware is GPT-safe. bye thomas
