GPT and type of partitions
Hi,
Now a days, almost computer systems have GPT partition.
Previously computer systems were mostly based on MBR and with MBR we used to create primary, extended, secondary or logical partitions.
What about these partitions (primary, extended, secondary or logical partitions) with GPT?
Do they have any meaning with GPT?
Please elaborate.
With Regards

GTP partition table can have a maximum of 128 primary partitions.
