New version created by Scorpiuss

I've created a new version of the GPT page. The fundamentals are all there. Could use a chart of the things represented at each bit position. Microsoft's got a nice one on the external link indicated (which, by the way, is a great source).

EFI System partition GUID contradiction

The GUID for an EFISys partition under the Partition Entries section is different than the one in the list of GUIDs. On the MS page linked at the bottom, the one given in the Partition Entries section is given.

undefined footnote

Wdpp, you recently added a couple dozen footnotes to this article ... all of which reference an undefined footnote named "dm-verity-signature". Are you able to provide a definition for thise footnote? What is it meant to say? -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:30, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. It's a mistake. I will remove them. In the first draft, I wrote “Root varity signature partition (ARC){{Efn|name="dm-verity-signature"|used by dm-varity}}<ref name="DiscoverablePartitionsSpec" />”. Finally I changed it to "Root varity signature partition for dm-varity (ARC)<ref name="DiscoverablePartitionsSpec" />". But I forgot to remove the Efns. --Wdpp (talk) 14:55, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it at Special:Permalink/1179196701. --Wdpp (talk) 15:07, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
