GUID Partition Table (GPT) uses GUIDs (or UUIDs in linux world) to define partitions and its types

結構

First logical sector (512 bytes)

* Protective MBR - Same as a normal MBR but the 64-byte area contains a single 0xEE type Primary partition entry defined over the entire size of the disk

Second logical sector (512 bytes)

Primary GPT Header
Unique Disk GUID, Location of the Primary Partition Table,
Number of possible entries in partition table,
Primary Partition Table
CRC32 checksums of itself
Location of the Secondary (or Backup) GPT Header

16 KiB (by default) following the second logical sector

Primary GPT Table - 128 Partition entries (an entry of size 128 bytes)
- Partition Type GUID (64-bit LBA)
- Unique Partition GUID (64-bit LBA)

16 KiB (by default) before the last logical sector of the disk
Secondary GPT table

last logical sector of the disk (512 bytes)
512 bytes Secondary GPT Header

Windows EFI

MBR uses a combination of cylinder/head/sector (CHS) addressing and logical block addressing (LBA)
GPT drops CHS addressing and uses 64-bit LBA mode

Boot disks for EFI-based systems require an EFI System Partition (sgdisk internal code 0xEF00)
formatted as FAT-32.
The recommended size of this partition is between 100 and 300 MiB.
Boot-related files are stored here.
(Note that GNU Parted identifies such partitions as having the "boot flag" set.)

If Windows is to boot from a GPT disk, a partition of type Microsoft Reserved (sgdisk internal
code 0x0C01) is recommended. This partition should be about 128 MiB in size. It ordinarily follows
the EFI System Partition and immediately precedes the Windows data partitions. (Note that GNU
Parted creates all FAT partitions as this type, which actually makes the partition unusable for
normal file storage in both Windows and Mac OS X.)

GPT support on Linux

"CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION" option in the kernel config enables GPT support in the kernel

All UEFI Bootloaders support GPT disks

grep CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION /boot/config-`uname -r`

CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y

# Detail info

-i # Show detailed partition information.

sgdisk -i 1 /dev/sda

# Randomizes the GUID on the disk

sgdisk -G /dev/sdY

Backup/Restore GPT partition table

# Backup

sgdisk -b $BACKUPFILE $SOURCEDRIVE

* -b, --backup=file

# Restore

sgdisk -l $BACKUPFILE $TARGETDRIVE

* -l, --load-backup

* Load partition data from a backup file. This option is the reverse of the -b option.

Note that restoring partition data from anything but the original disk is not recommended.

gdisk

Install

# C6

yum install gdisk

Clone GPT by gdisk

u # replicate partition table on new device

Clone 完 partation 後, Disk 的 UUID 與 Partition 的 UUID 是不同的

* g(x) / c(x) / c 是必須的, 因為它們會影響系統的 /dev/disk/by-X

blkid /dev/sd[hg]
