Partition Table Types

ID (GUID Partition Table and MBR Partition Table) Description
GPT: 5808C8AA-7E8F-42E0-85D2-E1E90434CFB3
MBR: None1
"metadata" partition. The area of the disc that is used for holding configuration data that describe the volumes that LDM manages.
GPT: AF9B60A0-1431-4F62-BC68-3311714A69AD
MBR: 0x42
"data" partition. The area of the disc that is used for holding LDM volumes themselves.

^1 On a disk partitioned with the MBR Partition Table scheme, the Logical Disk Manager metadata are not stored in a partition, but are stored in a 1MiB area at the end of the disk that is not assigned to any partition. The disc partitioning tools in Windows XP will not use that area for disk partitions, but the tools in other operating systems might.

Famous quotes containing the words table and/or types:

    The salt person and blasted place
    I furnish with the meat of a fable;
    If the dead starve, their stomachs turn to tumble
    An upright man in the antipodes
    Or spray-based and rock-chested sea:
    Over the past table I repeat this present grace.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
