Hi, DebianInstaller shows "FREE SPACE" before the first partition and after the last partition if GPT scheme is used: http://i.imgur.com/qjNrdAx.jpg While there is nothing wrong with that as there is indeed some free space before the first partition and after the last partition(http://i.imgur.com/4BlDQx7.jpg), such information is not displayed if I choose the MBR partitioning scheme(http://i.imgur.com/x4Ycl9q.jpg) while actually modern MBR editors(for example newer fdisk versions) should start the first partition also from sector 2048.
1) Am I correct that technically DebianInstaller should display the "FREE SPACE" area before the first partition also in case the MBR partition scheme is chosen? 2) Am I correct that boot loaders use their code on this area after the primary GPT and before the first partition? 3) Are the last 689 sectors after the last partition used for storing the backup GPT? regards, Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
