@a2_4am okay so the conclusion i have reached from the many responses i got on this thread is
- GPT is not haunted
- UEFI partition *is* haunted
- diskmgt.msc: haunted
- diskpart.exe: not haunted¹
- gparted: not haunted
¹ Though in my experience it may ask you to do some fairly precise math.
EDIT: This was supposed to be a reply to an entirely different reply by 4am to an entirely different thread. No idea what happened here
Elladan@mcc @a2_4am most of the problems I've hand held people through with gparted (or parted, or fdisk/gdisk) in the last few years amounted to this:
"When it asks you for the partition type, it's asking for what 16 bit random number to put in the GPT table. It's not asking for the file system. That is a separate step. Actually nothing in Linux cares about that number at all, despite there being dozens of numbers available. Only EFI and maybe Windows care."
Partitions are... Confusing.
