ID (GUID Partition Table and MBR Partition Table) Description
GPT: 5808C8AA-7E8F-42E0-85D2-E1E90434CFB3

"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:

    When I think of our lands I think of the house
    And the table that holds a platter of pears,
    Vermilion smeared over green, arranged for show.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
    Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
