  2. GUID Partition Table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

    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 2–33. Negative LBA addresses indicate a position from the end of the volume, with −1 being the last addressable block.

  3. Extended boot record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record

    The second entry of an EBR partition table will contain zero-bytes if it's the last EBR in the extended partition; otherwise, it points to the next EBR in the EBR chain. Partition type code = 0x05 (CHS addressing) or 0x0F (LBA addressing). [4] in other words, the EBR must have a valid partition type, just as a partition must have a valid ...

  4. Partition type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type

    The partition type (or partition ID) in a partition's entry in the partition table inside a master boot record (MBR) is a byte value intended to specify the file system the partition contains or to flag special access methods used to access these partitions (e.g. special CHS mappings, LBA access, logical mapped geometries, special driver access, hidden partitions, secured or encrypted file ...

  5. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

    The partition type code for a primary partition can either correspond to a file system contained within (e.g., 0x07 means either an NTFS or an OS/2 HPFS file system) or indicate that the partition has a special use (e.g., code 0x82 usually indicates a Linux swap partition).

  6. Partition (database) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_(database)

    Vertical partitioning involves creating tables with fewer columns and using additional tables to store the remaining columns. [2] Generally, this practice is known as normalization . However, vertical partitioning extends further, and partitions columns even when already normalized.

  7. Logical unit number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_unit_number

    How to select a LUN: In the early versions of SCSI, an initiator delivers a Command Descriptor Block (CDB) to a target (physical unit) and within the CDB is a 3-bit LUN field to identify the logical unit within the target. In current SCSI, the initiator delivers the CDB to a particular logical unit, so the LUN appears in the transport layer ...

  8. Balanced number partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_number_partitioning

    The two subsets should contain floor(n/2) and ceiling(n/2) items. It is a variant of the partition problem. It is NP-hard to decide whether there exists a partition in which the sums in the two subsets are equal; see [4] problem [SP12]. There are many algorithms that aim to find a balanced partition in which the sum is as nearly-equal as possible.

  9. fdisk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fdisk

    IBM introduced the first version of fdisk (officially dubbed "Fixed Disk Setup Program") in March 1983, with the release of the IBM PC/XT computer (the first PC to store data on a hard disk) and the IBM PC DOS 2.0 operating system. fdisk version 1.0 can create one FAT12 partition, delete it, change the active partition, or display partition data. fdisk writes the master boot record, which ...
