“GPT is an alternate disk partition table scheme that solves two
issues associated with the MBR partition table scheme. It allows
the configuration of more than four primary partitions, the maximum
supported by MBR, and it also supports disk partitions of more than
2 TB.“Chakra, an Arch Linux-based distribution, is the only Linux
distribution reviewed on this site that has out-of-the-box support
for the GUID Partition Table, GPT. The only other distribution
reviewed here with the same feature is PC-BSD (only available on
release snapshots of PC-BSD 9).”
