GUID Partition Table

{{Short description|Computer data storage partitioning standard}} thumb|upright=1.1|The layout of a disk with the GUID Partition Table. In this example, each logical block is 512 bytes in size and each entry has 128 bytes. The corresponding partition entries are assumed to be located in LBA{{nbsp}}2–33. Negative LBA addresses indicate a position from the end of the volume, with −1 being the last addressable block.

The '''GUID Partition Table''' ('''GPT''') is a standard for the layout of partition tables of a physical computer storage device, such as a hard disk drive or solid-state drive. It is part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) standard.

It has several advantages over master boot record (MBR) partition tables, such as support for more than four primary partitions and 64-bit rather than 32-bit logical block addresses (LBA) for blocks on a storage device. The larger LBA size supports larger disks.

Some BIOSes support GPT partition tables as well as MBR partition tables, in order to support larger disks than MBR partition tables can support.

GPT uses universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), which are also known as globally unique identifiers (GUIDs), to identify partitions and partition types.

All modern personal computer operating systems support GPT. Some, including macOS and Microsoft Windows on the x86 architecture, support booting from GPT partitions only on systems with EFI firmware, but FreeBSD and most Linux distributions can boot from GPT partitions on systems with either the BIOS or the EFI firmware interface.

== History == {{Main|INT 13H|Enhanced BIOS}}

The Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning scheme, widely used since the early 1980s, had limitations when it came to modern hardware. The available size for block addresses and related information is limited to 32 bits. For hard disks with 512{{nbh}}byte sectors, the MBR partition table entries allow a maximum size of 2 TiB (232 × 512{{nbh}}bytes) or 2.20 TB (2.20 × 1012 bytes).<ref name="UEFIFAQ">{{cite web |url=https://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI_Drive_Partition_Limits_Fact_Sheet.pdf |title=FAQ: Drive Partition Limits |website=www.uefi.org |date=2010 |access-date=12 December 2020}}</ref>

In the late 1990s, Intel developed a new partition table format as part of what eventually became the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). The GUID Partition Table is specified in chapter 5 of the UEFI 2.11 specification.<ref name="UEFI2.11">{{cite web |date=21 November 2024 |title=Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Specification Release 2.11 |url=https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI_Spec_Final_2.11.pdf |access-date=9 January 2025 |website=www.uefi.org}}</ref>{{rp|page=111}} GPT uses 64 bits for logical block addresses, allowing a maximum disk size of 264 sectors.

== Features == [[File:GNU GRUB components.svg|thumb|upright=1.5|MBR vs. GPT partitioning and boot sequence visualized (systems using BIOS firmware). See GRUB2.]] Like MBR, GPT uses logical block addressing (LBA) in place of the historical cylinder-head-sector (CHS) addressing. The protective MBR is stored at LBA 0, and the GPT header is in LBA 1. The GPT header has a pointer to the partition table (''Partition Entry Array''), which is typically at LBA 2. Each entry in the partition table has the same size, which is 128 or 256 or 512, etc., bytes; typically this size is 128 bytes. The UEFI specification stipulates that a minimum of 16,384 bytes, regardless of sector size, are allocated for the Partition Entry Array. Thus, on a disk with 512-byte sectors, at least 32 sectors are used for the Partition Entry Array, and the first usable block is at LBA 34 or higher, while on a 4,096-byte sector disk, at least 4 sectors are used for the Partition Entry Array, and the first usable block is at LBA 6 or higher. In addition to the primary GPT header and Partition Entry Array, stored at the beginning of the disk, there is a backup GPT header and Partition Entry Array, stored at the end of the disk. The backup GPT header must be at the last block on the disk (LBA -1) and the backup Partition Entry Array is placed between the end of the last partition and the last block.{{r|UEFI2.11|at=pp. 115-120, §5.3}}

==MBR variants==

=== {{Anchor|PROTECTIVE-MBR}}Protective MBR (LBA 0) === For limited backward compatibility, the space of the legacy Master Boot Record (MBR) is still reserved in the GPT specification, but it is now used in a way that prevents MBR-based disk utilities from misrecognizing and possibly overwriting GPT disks. This is referred to as a ''protective MBR''.<ref name="IBMLargeDrivesGPT">{{cite web |title=Make the most of large drives with GPT and Linux |first=Roderick |last=Smith |publisher=IBM |url=http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-gpt/ |date=3 July 2012 |access-date=14 December 2020}}</ref>

A single partition of type EEh, encompassing the entire GPT drive (where "entire" actually means as much of the drive as can be represented in an MBR), is indicated and identifies it as GPT. Operating systems and tools which cannot read GPT disks will generally recognize the disk as containing one partition of unknown type and no empty space, and will typically refuse to modify the disk unless the user explicitly requests and confirms the deletion of this partition. This minimizes accidental erasures.<ref name="IBMLargeDrivesGPT" /> Furthermore, GPT-aware OSes may check the protective MBR and if the enclosed partition type is not of type {{mono|EEh}} or if there are multiple partitions defined on the target device, the OS may refuse to manipulate the partition table.<ref name="tn2166">{{cite web|url=https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2166/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS10003927-CH1-SUBSECTION11 |title=Technical Note TN2166: Secrets of the GPT |website=Apple Developer |publisher=Apple |date=2006-11-06 |access-date=2014-04-16}}</ref>

If the actual size of the disk exceeds the maximum partition size representable using the legacy 32-bit LBA entries in the MBR partition table, the recorded size of this partition is clipped at the maximum, thereby ignoring the rest of the disk. This amounts to a maximum reported size of 2 TiB, assuming a disk with 512 bytes per sector (see 512e). It would result in 16 TiB with 4 KiB sectors (4Kn), but since many older operating systems and tools are hard coded for a sector size of 512 bytes or are limited to 32-bit calculations, exceeding the 2 TiB limit could cause compatibility problems.<ref name="IBMLargeDrivesGPT" />

=== {{anchor|HYBRIDMBR}}Hybrid MBR (LBA 0 + GPT) === In operating systems that support GPT-based boot through BIOS services rather than EFI, the first sector may also still be used to store the first stage of the bootloader code, but modified to recognize GPT partitions. The bootloader in the MBR must not assume a sector size of 512 bytes.<ref name="IBMLargeDrivesGPT" />

== Partition type GUIDs == "Partition type GUID" means that each partition type is strictly identified by a GUID number unique to that type, and therefore partitions of the same type will all have the same "partition type GUID". Each partition also has a "partition unique GUID" as a separate entry, which as the name implies is a unique id for each partition. {| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |- !

The standardized scheme uses randomly-generated GUIDs, and slotted partitions (e.g. <code>zircon_{a,b,r}</code>) share the same type and are distinguished by name and unique GUID.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://cs.opensource.google/fuchsia/fuchsia/+/0010ded76edc81fcde8d4582461dc628447e3810 |title=[paver] add support for new partition scheme |accessdate=2021-10-22}}</ref>}} |- | colspan="2" | fuchsia-esp | {{mono|C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B}} |- | colspan="2" | fuchsia-system | {{mono|606B000B-B7C7-4653-A7D5-B737332C899D}} |- | colspan="2" | fuchsia-data | {{mono|08185F0C-892D-428A-A789-DBEEC8F55E6A}} |- | colspan="2" | fuchsia-install | {{mono|48435546-4953-2041-494E-5354414C4C52}} |- | colspan="2" | fuchsia-blob | {{mono|2967380E-134C-4CBB-B6DA-17E7CE1CA45D}} |- | colspan="2" | fuchsia-fvm | {{mono|41D0E340-57E3-954E-8C1E-17ECAC44CFF5}} |- | colspan="2" | Zircon boot image (slot A) | {{mono|DE30CC86-1F4A-4A31-93C4-66F147D33E05}} |- | colspan="2" | Zircon boot image (slot B) | {{mono|23CC04DF-C278-4CE7-8471-897D1A4BCDF7}} |- | colspan="2" | Zircon boot image (slot R) | {{mono|A0E5CF57-2DEF-46BE-A80C-A2067C37CD49}} |- | colspan="2" | sys-config | {{mono|4E5E989E-4C86-11E8-A15B-480FCF35F8E6}} |- | colspan="2" | factory-config | {{mono|5A3A90BE-4C86-11E8-A15B-480FCF35F8E6}} |- | colspan="2" | bootloader | {{mono|5ECE94FE-4C86-11E8-A15B-480FCF35F8E6}} |- | colspan="2" | guid-test | {{mono|8B94D043-30BE-4871-9DFA-D69556E8C1F3}} |- | colspan="2" | Verified boot metadata (slot A) | {{mono|A13B4D9A-EC5F-11E8-97D8-6C3BE52705BF}} |- | colspan="2" | Verified boot metadata (slot B) | {{mono|A288ABF2-EC5F-11E8-97D8-6C3BE52705BF}} |- | colspan="2" | Verified boot metadata (slot R) | {{mono|6A2460C3-CD11-4E8B-80A8-12CCE268ED0A}} |- | colspan="2" | misc | {{mono|1D75395D-F2C6-476B-A8B7-45CC1C97B476}} |- | colspan="2" | emmc-boot1 | {{mono|900B0FC5-90CD-4D4F-84F9-9F8ED579DB88}} |- | colspan="2" | emmc-boot2 | {{mono|B2B2E8D1-7C10-4EBC-A2D0-4614568260AD}} |- | style="background:#f0f0f0;" | Minix | style="background:#f0f0f0;" colspan="2" | Minix filesystem | style="background:#f0f0f0;" | {{mono|481B2A38-0561-420B-B72A-F1C4988EFC16}} |- | Emu68/AmigaOS | colspan="2" | A partition that includes Rigid Disk Block{{Efn|Due to the limitations of the Rigid Disk Block (RDB), the size of this partition cannot exceed 2 TiB.}} | {{mono|3F82EEBC-87C9-4097-8165-89D6540557C0}} |- | Weka NeuralMesh (Storage System) | colspan="2" | Weka Data Partition | {{mono|993EC906-B4E2-11E7-A205-A0A8CD3EA1DE}} |}
