Finding Partition Type in GPT Partitioning System?
Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2021 10:08 am
Is there a way to get the partition's type when using a GPT system, like how you get an ID for the partition type from the MBR?
Yes: the PartitionTypeGUID field in the partition entry.
The definition of this field can be found in the UEFI specification. There's also a pretty good list of existing GUIDs (and other useful information) in Wikipedia.
