Linux Disk partitioning mode

Linux Disk partitioning mode

Mode one: MBR

1) No more than four primary partitions

2) Maximum single partition capacity 2TB

Mode two: GPT

1) The number of primary partitions is "almost" unlimited (cause: Up to 128 primary partitions can be supported in a GPT partition table)

2) The capacity of a single partition is "almost" unlimited (reason: The capacity of a single partition can reach 18EB=18*1024PB=18*1024*1024TB)

3) Disadvantage: The system in the primary partition of the GPT is not suitable for installing the X86 architecture (i.e., 32-bit operating system)
