  2. BSD disklabel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_disklabel

    Sometimes (particularly in FreeBSD), the primary MBR partitions are referred to as slices and the subdivisions of a primary MBR partition (for the nested BSD partitioning scheme) that are described by its disklabel are called partitions. The BSD disklabel is contained within the volume boot record of its primary MBR partition.

  3. fdisk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fdisk

    fdisk is a command-line utility for disk partitioning.It has been part of DOS, DR FlexOS, IBM OS/2, and early versions of Microsoft Windows, as well as certain ports of FreeBSD, [2] NetBSD, [3] OpenBSD, [4] DragonFly BSD [5] and macOS [6] for compatibility reasons.

  4. gpart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gpart

    gpart ignores the primary partition table and scans the disk (or disk image file) sector after sector for several filesystem/partition types. It does so by "asking" filesystem recognition modules if they think a given sequence of sectors resembles the beginning of a filesystem or partition type.

  6. GEOM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOM

    GEOM is the main storage framework for the FreeBSD operating system. It is available in FreeBSD 5.0 and later releases, and provides a standardized way to access storage layers. GEOM is modular and allows for geom modules to connect to the framework. For example, the geom_mirror module provides RAID1 or mirroring functionality to the system.

  7. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

    In Solaris, partitions are sometimes known as slices. This is a conceptual reference to the slicing of a cake into several pieces. The term "slice" is used in the FreeBSD operating system to refer to Master Boot Record partitions, to avoid confusion with FreeBSD's own disklabel-based partitioning scheme.

  8. GUID Partition Table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

    "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.
