Stick with gdisk, it's what you're familiar with: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
% gdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1 |
| 21 |
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.5 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Partition table scan: |
| 24 |
MBR: protective |
| 25 |
BSD: not present |
| 26 |
APM: not present |
| 27 |
GPT: present |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT. |

Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 500118192 sectors, 238.5 GiB |
| 31 |
Model: WDC WDS256G1X0C-00ENX0 |
| 32 |
Sector size (logical/physical): 512/512 bytes |
| 33 |
Disk identifier (GUID): 0EB51C66-3333-494C-80F3-9ACB1D95325D |
| 34 |
Partition table holds up to 128 entries |
| 35 |
Main partition table begins at sector 2 and ends at sector 33 |
| 36 |
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 500118158 |
| 37 |
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries |
| 38 |
Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB) |

Note that I am using partition 1 as both the ESP and /boot. This is a |
| 47 |
popular approach and keeps things simpler. It needs to be a FAT |
| 48 |
filesystem on a partition of type EF00 to keep UEFI happy, but Linux |
| 49 |
doesn't care but any of that as long as it's a readable filesystem. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Don't forget to build FAT filesystem support into your kernel. |
