Hi folks, I tried to set up a new msdos partition table on a USB SSD using parted on Linux, but it was no recognized on both MacOS and Windows 11.
Maybe a stupid question, but how comes? After initializing the SSD on MacOS it was accepted on Linux as well, so I wonder if it would be possible to increase parted's compatibility to others? Below you can find the parted session on Debian to "break" the partition table set up on MacOS again. After that the disk was rejected on MacOS and had to be reinitialized.
